Korea's second Nepal relief team is set to return home after a week-long mission to locate nine missing Korean nationals, according to the country's foreign ministry. The team, known as the Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT), was dispatched following massive floods and landslides that struck Rasuwa District near the Nepal-Tibet border last month, leaving nine Koreans -- six employees of Doosan Enerbility and three of Korea South-East Power -- missing.
Despite the mission's conclusion, the government response team, which arrived earlier for search-and-rescue efforts, will stay in Nepal to collaborate with Nepalese authorities and continue providing support to the families of the missing.
