Landslide Kills Three on Karakoram Highway

On Monday, two separate incidents in northern Pakistan resulted in three fatalities. In Kohistan, a landslide on the Karakoram Highway killed three passengers, including two army personnel, while injuring another. The victims were transported to the District Headquarters Hospital Dasu, with four individuals reported in critical condition. Meanwhile, in a separate attack in the same region, a roadside bomb targeted a bus, killing two security officials and injuring another passenger. Although no group claimed responsibility for the bombing, suspicion likely falls on the Pakistani Taliban, which has increased attacks in the area. The ongoing heavy rains have exacerbated conditions, leading to blocked roads and warnings from authorities regarding potential landslides and urban flooding.
