At least three people were killed and fifteen are missing after a landslide, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, hit Gilgit-Baltistan’s Diamer district on Monday, officials said.

Rescue teams recovered bodies and evacuated four injured, while efforts continue to locate the missing. Hundreds of stranded tourists were also brought to safety, Al Jazeera reported.

The monsoon has caused widespread damage across Pakistan, with 221 deaths reported since late June.
