A storm developing in the Arabian Sea prompts Pakistani officials to shut schools in Karachi

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Officials say a tropical storm developing in the Arabian Sea has prompted authorities to shut schools in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city. Weather forecasters warned fishermen on Friday not to venture out to sea. The disaster management authority warned that the storm could cause heavy rains in Karachi and elsewhere. A day earlier, a mudslide triggered by heavy monsoon rain hit a house in a remote part of northwestern Pakistan, killing 12 people, mostly children. Authorities have warned that ongoing heavy rain, which began last month, could cause landslides and flash floods across Pakistan.
