Hundreds missing after dam breaks in Pakistan

More than 400 people are still missing in a remote area of south-western Pakistan after heavy rains caused a large dam to burst, sweeping villagers into the Arabian Sea, a provincial official said on Friday. At least 35 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 1 200 villagers have been pulled alive from the waters.
