A fresh cloudburst struck Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir, leaving at least seven people dead and several others injured. The sudden downpour triggered flash floods in low-lying areas, sweeping away vehicles and damaging homes. Rescue teams, including police, disaster response units, and local volunteers, rushed to the affected spots to carry out relief operations.
Authorities confirmed that the death toll has climbed to seven, while many residents are still reported missing. Efforts are underway to locate those trapped under debris or washed away in the floods. The incident has caused widespread panic, with families being shifted to safer areas as a precautionary measure.
Officials have urged people in hilly and vulnerable zones to remain cautious, as heavy rain continues to lash several parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The administration is monitoring the situation closely, with additional rescue personnel kept on standby in case of further emergencies.
