Nearly 400 people have been killed since Thursday evening in torrential monsoon rains in Pakistan, authorities reported on Tuesday, as operations continue to recover dozens of bodies still buried.

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said 356 were killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone, a mountainous northwest province bordering Afghanistan.

In total, the NDMA added, 706 Pakistanis have died since June 26 due to the monsoon, which is expected to last until mid-September.
