Severe dust storms have swept through various districts of Sindh and Punjab, resulting in at least three deaths, including one child, and injuring over 60 people in Ghotki and Kashmore. The powerful winds caused widespread damage, felling trees, signboards, and electricity poles in Rajanpur, leading to power outages.
