Pakistan Rains: 87 killed, over 80 injured as heavy spell wreak havoc | Karachi Emergency | Oneindia
Severe rainfall in Pakistan has led to devastating consequences, as reported by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
Over the past week, at least 87 individuals have tragically lost their lives, with 82 others sustaining injuries in various rain-triggered incidents.
The NDMA's data reveals that a staggering 2,715 houses have suffered partial or complete damage across the nation.
Structural collapses, lightning strikes, and flash floods have been cited as the primary causes behind the majority of the casualties.
The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the northwest bore the brunt of the devastation, recording 36 fatalities and 53 injuries, while the eastern Punjab province also witnessed significant loss, with 25 deaths and eight injuries reported.
The Bannu military cantonment in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, located over 330 km east of Islamabad, came under a severe attack early on Monday (July 15). The assault, reportedly led by several suicide bombers, resulted in a prolonged gunbattle with security forces. The militant group Jaish Fursan-e-Muhammad, a faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to Pakistani state media, the incident began when the assailants attempted to breach the cantonment’s security perimeter with an explosive-laden vehicle.
