11 killed in wall collapse in Pakistan amid heavy rains

At least 11 people were killed and six others were injured on Wednesday after a building’s wall collapsed at Islamabad’s Peshawar Road as the area faces a spell of heavy monsoon rains.

The incident area, which falls in the jurisdiction of Islamabad’s Noon police station, comes as heavy rainfall has been lashing the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad in the past week, leading to waterlogging in low-lying regions, causing disruptions and posing risks to residents.
