At least 11 members of a family were killed after a three-storey house collapsed during a birthday celebration in Lahore’s Harbanspura area. Around 20 people were trapped under the debris, with rescue teams recovering 11 bodies and saving six survivors. Officials suspect heavy monsoon rains weakened the structure before the collapse.
At least 11 members of a family were killed after a three-storey house collapsed in Pakistan's Lahore city, an official said on Thursday.
The incident occurred late on Wednesday night in Harbanspura, a densely populated low-income neighbourhood, where a birthday celebration was underway. Authorities suspect the building may have been weakened by heavy monsoon rains before it gave way.

According to Lahore Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Ali Ejaz, three brothers lived in the house along with their wives and children.
