Islamabad: At least 26 people, including children, were killed when a passenger bus crashed into a hill in northern Pakistan on Sunday, an official said. The bus was travelling from Skardu, a famous tourist destination, to the garrison city of Rawalpindi when the accident occurred in the country’s northern region of Gilgit-Baltistan, which borders China. Another 12 people were wounded, Faizullah Faraq, a spokesperson for the regional government, said. The injured are being moved to a hospital in the Chilas area, although rescue workers are facing difficulties due to limited resources, Faraq added. (dpa)
