Nepal flash flood: 105 Indians missing, ‘major casualties’ in Tibet as many villages washed away; rescue op underway

105 Indians are currently missing following a devastating flash flood in Nepal, as a result of a powerful river surge through the country's Nuwakot and Dhading districts. The tragic event claimed the lives of eight people, while Chinese state media reported "major casualties" after a mudslide struck a trade hub in Tibet, located on the Chinese side of the countries' shared border.

Nepali media reports indicate that the floodwaters originated on the Tibetan side before entering Nepal, causing extensive damage and sweeping away several villages in the affected regions.

The report sheds light on the scale of the disaster, with rescue operations underway to locate and aid the missing individuals.
