Himalayan Village Wiped Out By Cloudburst — 60 Dead, Hundreds Missing
India's National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel and security forces search for victims at the site of a flash flood in a village in Kishtwar district, India, on August 15, 2025. Kishtwar, a remote district in Indian-administered Kashmir, is struck on August 14 by a sudden cloudburst and flash flood that turns an entire valley into a disaster zone. Within minutes, torrents of water and debris flatten dozens of homes, kill more than 60 people, injure hundreds, and leave around 250 missing. Washed-out roads and collapsed bridges cut off entire hamlets, as over 1,000 rescuers battle swollen rivers, landslides, and relentless rain to reach survivors. (Photo by Sajad Hameed/NurPhoto)
