Flash floods struck Roshan valley in Ghizer district of Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) early Friday after a glacier burst, damaging more than 100 houses and forcing hundreds of families to flee, said officials.

Ghizer, about 200 km from G-B, was among the worst-hit valleys in the recent floods, with at least 10 fatalities reported.

Last month’s torrential in G-B triggered flash floods and landslides, leaving over 200 tourists and travellers stranded.

At least five people, including four tourists and one local resident, lost their lives. Authorities reported 14 to 15 major road blockages caused by boulders, debris, and sudden flooding, cutting off access on key routes such as Babusar Top and parts of the Karakoram Highway at Lal Parhi and Tatta Pani, where several vehicles were trapped.
