The eastern Punjab province and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir reported seven deaths each, followed by four in the northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to the NDMA.
The causes of death included flood-related drowning, structural collapses due to water damage, and accidental electrocutions as water levels rose in urban and semi-urban areas.
