The Federal Information Minister, Atta Tarar, stated that Pakistan has initiated a synchronized nationwide approach involving all provinces, pertinent organizations, and the military to address the extreme floods resulting from monsoon rainfall. The administration has implemented an integrated plan to handle the crisis effectively and safeguard people.

At a media conference held in Islamabad, NDMA Chief Lieutenant General Inam Haider Malik and DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that search and rescue crews have successfully rescued approximately 25,000 individuals up to now. Updates are being continuously provided to all relevant parties to ensure efficient coordination of aid efforts.

The head of the NDMA mentioned that their official website regularly updates information regarding rainfalls, flood damages, and losses. To date, monsoon-related storms, sudden downpours, landfills, and flooding in northern regions have resulted in almost 670 deaths, with approximately 1,000 people wounded nationwide.

General Inam Haider mentioned that some of the people who were once unaccounted for have now been located, although regrettably, many did not make it. Ongoing rescue efforts involve the military and emergency personnel collaborating to conduct thorough searches and recoveries in the impacted regions.

Assistance initiatives involve supplying food, medical aid, and necessary items to those who have been forced to leave their homes. More than half of the destroyed infrastructure has been fixed, with key roads and expressways currently under repair and scheduled to be completely open again next week.

Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that the military has sent eight groups to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan as part of relief efforts. To date, more than 6,300 individuals have been treated at nine health centers, while food supplies and assistance are being provided in isolated areas with help from the PTA and army construction teams.

Authorities stated that assessments to determine the total extent of damage will start shortly, with findings made available to the public. They advised residents to adhere to safety protocols as search and recovery efforts proceed in regions affected by flooding.

US Soldiers’ Search Continues: Submerged Vehicle Sparks Investigation in Lithuania

oleh admin | Mar 27, 2025 | military, news, search and rescue, ukraine, weapons

Search operations persisted into Thursday for four absent U.S. servicemen close to the Belarus frontier in Lithuania following the discovery of their vehicle underwater one day prior.

The M88 Hercules armored vehicle was found submerged over five meters deep. Following this discovery, sufficient water was pumped out to allow for excavation work, as stated by Lithuania’s Defense Minister Dovilė Šakalienė.

She stated that “every scenario remains plausible” concerning the soldiers’ status, since it had yet to be verified if they were still within the vehicle.

The Lithuanian national radio and television station, LRT, reported that on Tuesday afternoon, four U.S. servicemen along with their vehicle went missing during a training exercise at the General Silvestras Žukauskas training grounds in Pabradė, a town situated less than ten kilometers away from the Belarus border.

As stated by Šakalienė, the rescue operations persisted through the night, involving water removal and strengthening of the terrain to allow heavy machinery to reach the location safely without compromising a nearby gas pipeline.

Lithuanian authorities characterize the search and rescue mission as extremely intricate, involving “hundreds of individuals” from different backgrounds such as Lithuanian and U.S. forces, multiple governmental organizations, and private enterprises.

The US Ambassador to Lithuania, Kara McDonald, stated, “We will continue our efforts until our service members are located,” and expressed gratitude to the Lithuanian government and officials for their assistance in the search operation.

“Lithuania serves as an exemplary ally, and we are immensely thankful for their assistance,” she stated.

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, which gained their independence from the Soviet Union in 1990 and subsequently became part of NATO, frequently experience strained relationships with Russia and Belarus.

Tensions escalated even more after Russia initiated its extensive military operation against Ukraine in 2022. During this time, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda emerged as one of the strongest voices among European leaders backing Ukraine’s struggle against Russian aggression.
