Pakistan Monsoon: 200 Dead, 560+ Injured As Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh Crumble Under Rains

Pakistan is reeling from an unforgiving monsoon season that has claimed over 200 lives and left more than 560 injured, including 182 children. Punjab has borne the brunt with 123 deaths, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 40, Sindh with 21, and others scattered across Balochistan, Islamabad, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The deaths resulted from collapsing homes, flash floods, lightning, landslides, and electrocution. Rawalpindi was engulfed in chaos as flash floods submerged entire neighborhoods. Faisalabad also suffered heavy damage with 11 deaths in just 2 days. Infrastructure has crumbled — roads washed away in Chakwal, power supplies snapped, and communication lines destroyed. The UN warns of possible glacier lake outburst floods in the north. As the crisis unfolds, it’s a grim reminder of Pakistan’s growing climate vulnerability, just as in 2022 when floods killed over 1,700 and caused $40 billion in damage. #PakistanFloods #MonsoonDisaster #PunjabFloods #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #SindhRains #FlashFloods #ClimateCrisis #PakistanMonsoon #BalochistanFloods #IslamabadRains #POKRains #NDMA #FloodEmergency #RawalpindiFlood #FaisalabadTragedy #PakistanUnderWater #RainDisaster #UNWarning #GlacierFloods #WeatherAlert

Where’s Your Proof, Rahul Gandhi? —Pakistan Finally Admits 500+ Soldiers Killed in Operation Sindoor [Video]

Where’s Your Proof, Rahul Gandhi? —Pakistan Finally Admits 500+ Soldiers Killed in Operation Sindoor

Pakistan has finally admitted the truth—500+ soldiers lost in Operation Sindoor. After years of denying their losses, Islamabad’s gallantry medals to 138 soldiers reveal the scale of the disaster. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi and the Opposition questioned India’s surgical strikes and Balakot attacks, echoing Pakistan’s denials inside India. This video exposes the stark contrast between past governments and Modi’s India: decisive action, heavy consequences for Pakistan, and zero tolerance for terror. If Pakistan itself admits the losses, can Rahul Gandhi continue questioning India’s victories? Watch as we break down Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s confession, and the challenge Rahul Gandhi now faces. #OperationSindoor #PakistanAdmitsLosses #RahulGandhi #IndiaStrikes #ModiGovernment #Balakot #SurgicalStrike #IndiaVsPakistan #Geopolitics #IndianArmy #BreakingNews #ProofPolitics Also Read Pakistan’s Admission Of Deaths In Operation Sindoor: Will Rahul Gandhi Question These Numbers Too? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-s-admission-of-deaths-in-operation-sindoor-will-rahul-gandhi-question-these-numbers-too-7832753.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Why Only Me?’ Rahul Gandhi Slams Election Commission Over Affidavit Row :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/will-not-let-them-steal-rahul-gandhi-slams-ec-calls-bihar-sir-a-conspiracy-7832471.html?ref=DMDesc CEC Gyanesh Kumar To Rahul Gandhi: Give Allegations Affidavit in 7 Days or Apologise to the Nation :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/cec-gyanesh-kumar-to-rahul-gandhi-prove-allegations-in-7-days-or-apologise-to-the-nation-7832433.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~
