Flash floods caused by torrential rains in a remote village in Indian-controlled Kashmir have left at least 56 people dead and scores missing, according to authorities.

Flash floods triggered by torrential rains have killed over 280 people in India and Pakistan and left scores of others missing, officials said Friday, as rescuers brought to safety some 1,600 people from two mountainous districts in the neighboring countries.

At least 60 people have been killed and dozens are still missing after flash floods hit a village hosting Hindu pilgrims in Indian-administered Kashmir. More than 100 people have been injured, said Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah while addressing an Independence Day function in capital Srinagar.

More than three dozen people are dead after a cloudburst triggered a flash flood in Kashmir and other nearby areas.

Across Pakistan, monsoon rains that began in late June have been heavier than usual, killing at least 645 people. Four hundred of those deaths were in the northwest alone, where narrow valleys and river-carved gorges funnel rainwater into sudden torrents.

At least seven people were killed and many injured after a cloudburst triggered more flash floods in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday.

Monsoon floods in Pakistan kill nearly 400, devastate villages, cut roads and power, as authorities warn of more rain and looming urban flooding in Karachi.
