Police say a landslide has hit three makeshift homes in a slum in Pakistan's port city of Karachi, killing 13 people.
Senior police officer Javed Jaskani says the incident took place early Tuesday when a mass of mud and rocks crashed down a hill into camps in Karachi, the capital of southern Sindh province. He says women and children were among the dead and injured.
State-run television says Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has expressed grief over the incident and instructed authorities to aid the families of the victims.
