At least 60 people have died and over 200 remain missing after a cloudburst struck Chositi village in Kishtwar district, Indian-controlled Kashmir, on Thursday.

The sudden downpour triggered a landslide, destroying roads and bridges and hindering rescue efforts. Authorities described the situation as challenging, with teams working to reach those affected in the remote area, according to Xinhua.

The disaster occurred about 290 km southeast of Srinagar, the region’s summer capital.
