Six killed, several injured in rain-related incidents in Pakistan

At least six people, including two children, were killed and several others sustained injuries in rain-related incidents triggered by the ongoing monsoon spell in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, rescue officials said on Monday.

In the first incident, four people were killed and nine others injured after a passenger wagon was swept away by a flash flood in the Landi Kotal area of Khyber district on Sunday night, an official from emergency service Rescue 1122 said.

Search and rescue teams recovered all four bodies from different locations after an extensive operation, the official said. In another rain-related tragedy on the same day, two children were killed.
