PESHAWAR, 28th June, 2025 (WAM) - Heavy rains and flash flooding across Pakistan have killed 24 people including 12 children since the start of the monsoon season this week, disaster management officials said.

The area's disaster management authority said on Saturday (Jun 28) that at least 13 people have been killed in the eastern province of Punjab since Wednesday.

Eight of the fatalities were children, who died when walls and roofs collapsed during heavy rains.

Flooding in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has also damaged 56 houses, six of which were destroyed, the disaster agency said.

The national meteorological service warned that the risk of heavy rain and possible flash floods will remain high until at least Tuesday.
