From Times Wire Reports

Troops in helicopters hauled badly needed relief supplies to flood-swamped villages in southwestern Pakistan, as the nationwide death toll from a week of heavy rain and snow topped 360.

Houses were swept away when a dam burst four days ago in the worst-hit province of Baluchistan, where at least 1,000 people were still missing.

Officials said a smaller dam had collapsed elsewhere in the province Sunday, killing seven people. Scores more casualties from avalanches and landslides were reported in the northwest and in Kashmir.
