At least 307 people have died in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir after monsoon floods and landslides swept through the region, BBC reported.
Most deaths occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where homes were destroyed and a rescue helicopter crashed, killing five crew. Nine were killed in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and five in Gilgit-Baltistan. Authorities declared disaster zones as heavy rain is forecast to continue until 21 August.
In Indian-administered Kashmir, flash floods wiped out a Himalayan village, leaving at least 60 dead. According to BBC, scientists link the worsening monsoon disasters to climate change.
