ISLAMABAD—Lightning strikes across Pakistan’s eastern Punjab Province killed at least 10 people, officials said Monday as heavy pre-monsoon rains lashed the region.

The strikes on Sunday mainly took place in the Sialkot and Sheikhupura districts of Punjab. Lightning strikes are frequent across Pakistan, especially in Punjab’s mountainous areas and plains.
