At least 10 people were killed in flash floods in the Awaran and Zhob areas of Balochistan as the Meteorological Department forecast more rains in the province on Sunday.

Eight members of a family were among 10 people swept away by the torrents after heavy rain, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) officials said.

The family, including three women, two children, and three men, were traveling to Kalat from Awaran by a vehicle when they were washed away.

In the other incident, two men and their 10 goats were washed away by a torrent in Zhob.

“They were shepherds and were grazing their goats when caught in heavy rain. The body of Muhammad Shafiq, 60, was found in the hilly area of Sombaza, close to the Pak-Afghan border, while Masood Khan, 16, was still missing,” local officials said. (ILKHA)
