Heavy monsoon floods have killed at least 194 people in the last 24 hours in flash floods and landslides in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Most of the deaths were recorded by disaster authorities in the mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in north-west Pakistan. At least 74 homes have been damaged, while a rescue helicopter crashed during operations, killing its five crew.

At least 32 people have been killed in flash floods caused by torrential rains in a remote, mountainous village in Indian-controlled Kashmir, a disaster management official has said. Mohammed Irshad said on Thursday that rescue teams scouring the devastated Himalayan village of Chositi brought at least 100 people to safety.
