Flash floods hit Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir after heavy rain, according to reports. The flooding inundates areas of the district, damaging infrastructure and sweeping away vehicles, forcing evacuations of residents. Multiple sources report casualties in Rajouri, with NDTV stating that the death toll reaches 11. Earlier reporting from the same outlet also referenced at least one fatality as the floods worsened, with later updates raising the figure as assessments continue. Authorities and local responders carry out rescue and relief efforts amid ongoing damage to roads and other public facilities. The incidents are attributed to sudden, severe rainfall that leads to fast-rising water levels in low-lying and vulnerable areas. The flooding disrupts normal movement in affected localities and increases the urgency of evacuation and emergency response. The situation remains under assessment as officials continue to monitor impacts and account for losses.
