26 killed as thunderstorms, snowfall engulf country.

At least 26 people were killed across the country following a new wave of thunderstorms and heavy snowfall, Express News reported.

The heavy rain and snow engulfed parts of Punjab, Balochistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir. Flooded streets and blocked roads have paralyzed the areas as most also experience power breakdowns.

South Balochistan continues to receive snowfall and downpour causing flash floods that killed at least four people. Only one body has been recovered so far. Dozens have been stranded in the mountainous terrain of the south-western province as communication suffers due to continued snowfall. Relief activities are underway.

At least one child was killed and two others injured when an avalanche hit Azad Kashmir's Layyah Valley. The weather disrupted flights to and from the state.
