At least eighteen members of a family drowned in flash floods caused by pre-monsoon rains in Swat River in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Friday. Seven bodies have been recovered so far, officials said. Reports claimed that the family was part of a tourist group visiting the area and was caught in the rising waters triggered by heavy rains upstream.
