At least eight children died while one was injured after a landslide struck the Kuz Kaly area of Martung tehsil in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Shangla district on Thursday, officials said.
Shangla Deputy Commissioner Hassan Abid confirmed the death toll to republic policy.
“Eight bodies and an injured girl have been pulled out of the rubble and moved to the hospital,” he said.
According to Abid, a massive landslide struck the area when the children played cricket and buried them underneath.
