A shocking video shows a huge flood tearing through a remote mountain village in Pakistan following a massive glacial burst - leaving homes submerged by water.

The clip, shot from a hillside opposite Talidas village in Ghizer, northern Pakistan, captures walls of muddy water smashing through fields and roads on Friday morning.

One house on higher ground is seen collapsing as the torrent hits.

A glacial burst is the sudden and catastrophic release of a large volume of water from a lake contained by a glacier.

The disaster began in the early hours when shepherds heard rumbling in the mountains around 2.30am and ran back to warn villagers.
