At least nine people were killed in rain-related incidents in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday as most parts of Pakistan received rain.

Six people died in Balochistan in different incidents, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority said.

The authority added that heavy rain damaged houses, crops, solar panels, roads, and bridges in the province.
