Flash Floods Kill 280 In India
Rescue workers search for victims after a flash flood triggered by a cloudburst sweeps through the mountain village in the Himalayan region of Kishtwar district, on august 15, 2025. Rescuers in Indian-administered Kashmir use shovels and earthmovers on Saturday to search for survivors trapped under boulders and debris after sudden floods, triggered by heavy rains, kill at least 60 people, leave 200 others missing, and displace hundreds. Gushing mudslides and floodwaters inundate the mountain village of Chasoti, sweeping away pilgrims who gather for lunch before trekking uphill to a popular religious site. It is the second such disaster to strike the Himalayas in a little over a week. (Photo by Sajad Hameed/NurPhoto)
