Heavy overnight monsoon rains inundated several Pakistani villages and killed at least 15 people, bringing the death toll over the past day to 26, officials said.
Rescuers recovered three more bodies from a bus that had skidded off a rain-soaked road and fallen into a canal, taking the death toll in the accident to 11, said Mohammed Larif, an area police official.
Twelve people were rescued from the bus on Friday and were listed in stable condition in a hospital, he said.
Ten people died late on Friday from rains and flash floods in Malakand, a remote town in northwestern Pakistan, while three people died further north when the roof of a house caved in under heavy rains.
Two other people died when the roof of a house collapsed in the Bhara Kahu neighborhood in Islamabad, said Mohammed Rafique, a local police official.
Heavy rain also flooded several areas on the outskirts of Islamabad, where rescue official Mohammed Ibrar said army boats, police and divers were on alert.
Flash floods also inundated several villages in northwestern Pakistan yesterday, but there was no word of casualties, according to Pakistan's private Geo news channel.
Meanwhile, authorities on Friday opened spillways of the Rawal Dam, a key source of drinking water for Islamabad and a nearby city, to prevent damage to the dam from the excess water.
The last time the spillways were opened was five years ago.
Asian perspectives of the US have shifted from a country once perceived as a force of “moral legitimacy” to something akin to “a landlord seeking rent,” Singaporean Minister for Defence Ng Eng Hen (黃永宏) said on the sidelines of an international security meeting. Ng said in a round-table discussion at the Munich Security Conference in Germany that assumptions undertaken in the years after the end of World War II have fundamentally changed. One example is that from the time of former US president John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address more than 60 years ago, the image of the US was of a country
BLIND COST CUTTING: A DOGE push to lay off 2,000 energy department workers resulted in hundreds of staff at a nuclear security agency being fired — then ‘unfired’ US President Donald Trump’s administration has halted the firings of hundreds of federal employees who were tasked with working on the nation’s nuclear weapons programs, in an about-face that has left workers confused and experts cautioning that the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE’s) blind cost cutting would put communities at risk. Three US officials who spoke to The Associated Press said up to 350 employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) were abruptly laid off late on Thursday, with some losing access to e-mail before they’d learned they were fired, only to try to enter their offices on Friday morning
Cook Islands officials yesterday said they had discussed seabed minerals research with China as the small Pacific island mulls deep-sea mining of its waters. The self-governing country of 17,000 people — a former colony of close partner New Zealand — has licensed three companies to explore the seabed for nodules rich in metals such as nickel and cobalt, which are used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Despite issuing the five-year exploration licenses in 2022, the Cook Islands government said it would not decide whether to harvest the potato-sized nodules until it has assessed environmental and other impacts.

The six-week Steadfast Dart 2025 exercises across Bulgaria, Romania and Greece are taking place as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine approaches the three-year mark.
