Entire villages were swept away as torrential rain caused deadly flash floods and landslides in India-controlled Kashmir and northern Pakistan. Dramatic video shows the devastation in the neighboring countries as the death toll is expected to rise.

The officials said the cloudburst hit Jod Ghati in Rajbagh area of the district during the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, snapping access to the village and causing some damage to land and property.
