Heavy rain kills dozens in Pakistan
                   
Days of torrential rain have killed an estimated 34 people in Pakistan, mostly on the northwestern border with Afghanistan according to official sources.          

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the worst hit region in the north-west,  25 people were killed and 57 injured as a result of heavy rain from Sunday to Tuesday, the provincial disaster management authority said.                         

Three soldiers were also reported missing after they were hit by a snow avalanche in the northwestern district of Lower Dir, AFP reported.                  

Eight people were killed in the central province of Punjab, said Shahzad Abbasi, spokesman for the Punjab disaster management authority.               

Pakistan has suffered devastating monsoon floods for the last three years, including the worst in its history in 2010 when catastrophic inundations killed almost 1 800 people and affected 21 million. - Sapa-AFP
