Multiple Bus Crashes Kill 34, Injure 64 in Pakistan, Vietnam

Two major bus accidents occurred recently, one in Pakistan and another in Vietnam, resulting in numerous fatalities and injuries. In Pakistan, a private company's bus overturned on the M-2 Motorway near Balkasar Interchange after a left-side tire burst, killing at least six people and injuring 20, with several critically wounded and hospitalized. Meanwhile, in central Vietnam's Ha Tinh Province, a sleeper bus traveling from Hanoi to Da Nang veered off the road and overturned, resulting in nine deaths, including children, and over ten serious injuries; the government is investigating the crash. Vietnam’s Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called for a probe following this tragedy, which follows a recent deadly boat disaster at Ha Long Bay. Road accidents remain a significant concern in Vietnam, with over 5,000 fatalities reported in the first half of 2025. Rescue and emergency services responded promptly in both incidents, working to stabilize the situation and provide medical aid to survivors.
