11 killed, 1 missing as rains trigger cloudbursts, landslide in Indian-controlled Kashmir

At least 11 people were killed and one went missing on Saturday after cloudbursts and a landslide struck Indian-administered Kashmir, officials said. The incidents affected Reasi and Ramban districts, south of Srinagar, according to Xinhua.

In Reasi’s Karara village, a landslide triggered by heavy rainfall buried seven family members alive, whose bodies were later recovered. In Ramban’s Rajgad village, four people died and one remains missing following a cloudburst.

These incidents add to the region’s recent monsoon-related disasters. Last week’s heavy rains caused flooding that claimed at least 41 lives and damaged infrastructure across Kashmir, Xinhua reported.
