Pakistan: Incidents induced by heavy rain take several lives in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Several people were killed and several others suffered injuries as provincial capital Peshawar and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa received heavy rain and snowfall under extreme weather conditions, local media reported.

A young child died due to roof collapse in Badaber town of Peshawar, while four of a family died in the Tajabad neighborhood Board Bazaar as the roof of their house caved in.

Five people were killed when a car they travelled in skidded off the downpour-slicked Karakoram Highway before falling into a deep ravine in the Torkamar area of Lower Kohistan district in Hazara Division.

Widespread rains, and heavy snowfall in the mountainous regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have flooded roads and washed away infrastructure as rescuers work to help those trapped under debris.
