SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Flash floods caused by torrential rains in a remote village in India-controlled Kashmir have left at least 56 people dead and scores missing, authorities said Thursday, as rescue teams scouring the devastated Himalayan village brought at least 300 people to safety.

Rising water levels in South Kashmir's Pahalgam region have begun to disrupt daily life, with flash flood-like conditions reported in the upper reaches. Continuous rainfall over the past 24 hours has pushed water levels dangerously close to the alert mark,
