'Devastating' storm in Pakistan kills 45, injures 200

A "mini-cyclone" tore through Pakistan's Peshawar area Monday, killing 45 residents and injuring 200, Reuters reported.

Officials said army teams began conducting rescue operations in the northern Peshawar region after the storm tore the rooves off of buildings and brought down trees and power lines, causing "destruction on such a large scale," said Mushtaq Shah, director general of the Meteorological Office in Peshawar.
