Nine killed after buildings collapse in heavy rain
Nine people died today when the roofs of homes, a mosque and a sawmill collapsed in rains in north-western Pakistan, taking the number of people killed in rain-related incidents in recent days to 36, a government department said.
A spell of heavy winter monsoon rains started to hit many parts of Pakistan on Friday including the North West Frontier province, where dozens of homes with mud and thatch roofs have either collapsed or been damaged.
