A tragic incident occurred in northwest Pakistan on Sunday, as a woman and her eight children lost their lives when the roof of their mud house collapsed. The collapse was caused by a fire that resulted from a short-circuit. The incident took place in Tahari village, located in the Abbotabad district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Rescue officials reported that the locals managed to recover the nine bodies from the rubble of the collapsed structure. The age of the victims remains unknown.
Efforts were immediately initiated to address the situation, with rescue officials, supported by three ambulances and local residents, working tirelessly to extinguish the fire. Arshad Hussain, the Caretaker Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, expressed his grief and offered prayers for the eternal peace of the departed souls. As authorities investigate the cause of this tragic incident, the community mourns the loss and strives to ensure the safety of other residents in the area.
This unfortunate event follows a similar incident in July, where a deadly fire caused by a refrigerator compressor explosion claimed the lives of 10 members of the same family in Lahore’s Bhati Gate area. The victims included a man, his wife, two other women, five children, and a seven-month-old baby. Only one family member managed to escape the fire by jumping off the building. Rescue officials confirmed that the lack of ventilation in the house allowed the smoke to accumulate, leading to the fatal outcome.
