Pakistan’s climate minister has said that a summer heatwave, which has come months earlier than usual, has been melting glaciers in the Himalayas.
The melting has caused flooding which swept away a large bridge in the town of Hasanabad after what’s known as a glacial lake outburst.
Though heatwaves are a common occurrence in Pakistan, they have come earlier than usual this year across South Asia and reached record levels.
Some regions hit temperatures above 40C (104F), causing power and water shortages.
