15 Dead As Floods Hit Bus Carrying Wedding Party In Pakistan
A government official says flash floods triggered by monsoonrains have swept away a bus carrying a wedding party in
northwest Pakistan, killing 15 people.
The local administration official Iqbal Khan says several
passengers were also injured in Saturday’s incident in the
Landi Kotal tribal region bordering Afghanistan. He says it was
unclear whether the bride and groom were also travelling in
the same bus.
Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority said in
statement Saturday that as many as 55 people have been killed
across Pakistan since the monsoon rains started in July,
reports The Associated Press.
Flash floods commonly occur during South Asia’s summer
monsoon season, which ends in September.
