Deadly flash floods, landslides claim over 250 lives in rain-lashed northern Pakistan
2025-08-16
[GEO.TV] More than 250 people — at least 213 of them in Buner alone — have bit the dust, with dozens more injured, as cloudbursts and relentless downpours triggered flash floods and landslides across northern Pakistain, provincial and rescue officials said on Friday.

Over 200 deaths have been reported in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), 10 in Gilgit Baltistan (GB) and 19 in Azad Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
(AJK), with the toll expected to rise as the situation remains volatile.

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said that 28 people have been injured nationwide, while 116 houses have been damaged — 34 partially and 14 fully in KP, 14 partially and three fully in GB, and 23 partially and 28 fully in AJK.
