Heavy monsoon rains have unleashed landslides and flash floods across northern Pakistan, killing at least 243 people in the past 24 hours, including 157 people who died in the flood-hit Buner district in northwest Pakistan on Friday.
Mohammad Suhail told The Associated Press that dozens of people were still missing, and rescue operations were underway.
He said 78 bodies were recovered from various parts of the district by midday Friday, and another 79 were pulled from the rubble of collapsed homes and flooded villages later. (First Post).
