- On Thursday night, a passenger van plunged into the River Yasin in Ghizer District, Gilgit-Baltistan, killing 11 people and injuring three others, local police official Mohammad Afzal said.
- The van was traveling from Gilgit to Hundur in Yasin Valley when it veered off the mountainous road. Rescuers completed the recovery operation by early Friday.
- Authorities shifted the three injured survivors to a hospital in Gahkuch, the capital of Ghizer District. Regional Chief Minister Amjad Hussain instructed officials to ensure the best possible medical care.
- The National Highways and Motorway Police launched an investigation to establish the cause. Road accidents are common in Pakistan due to poor road conditions and unsafe driving practices in mountainous areas.
- Last week, a bus collided with a truck in eastern Pakistan, killing 11 people and injuring 33 others. This pattern underscores persistent transport safety challenges across the region.
