Mudslide kills 12 people in Pakistan occupied Kashmir

MUZZAFARABAD, PoK, July 24 (Reuters) A mudslide caused by torrential rain killed at least 12 people, including eight children, living in tents in the earthquake devastated capital of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, an official said today.

Tens of thousands of people are still living in tents in Muzaffarabad after the October eight quake that killed more than 75,000 people and made more than three million homeless, and the mountain slopes in the region remain susceptible to landslides.

''The mudslide hit and damaged at least seven tents and a few concrete buildings,'' Raja Abbas, additional commissioner of Muzzafarabad said.
