Flash floods in Nilambur, a town in Kerala's Malappuram district, have killed at least five people, according to officials. The bodies were recovered as rescue teams continued searching for a woman reported missing after the sudden flooding.
The floods struck after intense rainfall in the region, causing water levels to rise rapidly. Local authorities and emergency responders have been deployed to assist with search and rescue operations. The exact circumstances of the deaths have not been fully detailed by officials.
Kerala has experienced severe flooding in recent years, particularly during the monsoon season. The India Meteorological Department had issued warnings for heavy rainfall in parts of the state. The situation in Nilambur remains under monitoring as search efforts continue.
Further updates are expected as authorities assess the impact and complete their search operations.
