After a boat accident in Pakistan, the death toll has risen to 51. The search and rescue operation is still ongoing, the Pakistani military said. A total of five people have been rescued so far.

The accident happened on Sunday on Lake Tanda in north-west Pakistan. Many students at an Islamic seminar were having a picnic on the boat when it suddenly capsized.

The cause of the accident also remained unknown. In Pakistan, there are always serious accidents involving small wooden boats.
