Flash floods triggered by pre-monsoon rains swept away dozens of tourists in northwest Pakistan on Friday, killing at least eight people. The nationwide death toll from rain-related incidents rose to 18 over the past 24 hours, officials said. Nearly 100 rescuers are searching for missing tourists along the Swat River in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Rescuers have saved 58 people and recovered eight bodies so far. Heavy rains have caused widespread damage, with more rain expected this week.

Hopes of finding more than 180 missing people alive are waning as rescue workers searched through mud and debris for a third day after landslides set off by torrential rains killed at least 194 people in southern India. A Kerala state official said the rescue work was challenging in a forested, hilly area while more rain fell Thursday. Some of the victims have been found some 20 miles downriver from the area where the main landslides occurred. Officials say 187 people are unaccounted for. Local media reported most of the victims were tea estate workers. More than 5,500 people have been rescued, with some 1,100 rescue personnel, helicopters and heavy equipment involved.
