  "summary": "Fifty-three Ukrainian citizens are missing following devastating flash floods and mudslides in Nepal, according to Ukraine's Foreign Ministry. The disaster, which occurred on August 26 near the Nepal-China border, was caused by a massive landslide equivalent to a 5.2-magnitude earthquake, resulting in over 150 confirmed deaths and hundreds missing. No Ukrainians have been among the confirmed casualties, but the ministry is collaborating with local authorities in India and China to conduct search operations. The Honorary Consul in Nepal is also involved in the efforts. Ukraine's Foreign Minister has instructed embassies to contact the missing based on available personal data, and the ministry's hotline has received eight reports from relatives.",
