At least four people were killed and 12 others injured after a residential house collapsed during heavy rain in the Malgin area of Tehsil Lachi in Kohat on Monday, rescuers said on Monday.

According to Rescue 1122, the house caved in after torrential rainfall, trapping 14 people beneath the rubble.

Rescue teams from Kohat and Karak launched an operation and successfully pulled all those trapped from the debris.

The deceased were identified as 50-year-old Basmina, 45-year-old Nawab Jana, Farmina, and four-year-old Arham. Rescue officials said women and children were among the worst affected.

The injured were provided first aid at the scene before being shifted to various hospitals for treatment.

Rescue 1122 said four ambulances from Kohat and two from Karak took part in the operation, which was completed after all victims were recovered from the collapsed structure.

The incident comes as monsoon rains continue to batter several parts of Pakistan, triggering flash floods, damaging homes and disrupting daily life.

Earlier on Monday, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) warned that additional water could be released from Tarbela Dam within the next two days due to rising inflows into the Indus River.

District administrations in Swabi and Nowshera were directed to remain on alert, while the public was advised to stay away from riverbanks and avoid swimming, boating and fishing.

Elsewhere, strong winds and heavy rain caused power outages in Taxila, while a roof collapse in Dera Ghazi Khan injured six people, including four women and two children.

Heavy rain also inundated low-lying areas in Kot Addu, and strong winds in Sindh’s Gambat raised concerns about damage to the date palm crop.
