Floods, rains kill 23 in Pakistan

Floods and rain-triggered incidents killed 23 people and injured six across Pakistan in the past 24 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said on Friday, reported Xinhua. The eastern Punjab province reported 22 deaths, including seven children and three women, all caused by flooding. In Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, one child was killed in a landslide. All six injuries were recorded in Punjab. More than 1.5 million people have been affected by the recent floods, with over 200,000 rescued from inundated areas, according to NDMA. Since the start of the monsoon season in late June, at least 842 people have died and 1,117 others have been injured in rain-related incidents, the NDMA data showed. The northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has reported the highest casualties, followed by Punjab. Authorities warned that another spell of torrential rains is expected in the coming days, raising the risk of further flooding.

Kiinalainen leluyritys Pop Mart on netonnut pitkälti Labubujen ansiosta 400 prosentin tuloskasvun tämän vuoden ensimmäisellä puoliskolla. Myynti on noussut 1,7 miljardiin euroon. Labubujen suurta suosiota selittään muun muassa laumakäyttäytyminen, yllätysten haku ja nykyinen maailmantilanne, kertoo Vaasan yliopiston markkinoinnin yliopistonlehtori Anu Norrgrann.
