At least 10 people were killed and 43 injured as strong winds and thunderstorms triggered flash floods and destroyed homes in central and northern parts of the country, officials said on Wednesday.

Four women and a man died in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and three in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the National Disaster Management Authority said, while other officials said two died in Punjab.

"One person is still missing," Haroon Rasheed, a senior government official in AJK told AFP, adding that 12 houses and a mosque were destroyed in one village.
