  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that a multipronged search continues for nine Koreans missing in Nepal floods. The nine individuals, along with local employees, were working at the Upper Trishuli-1 (UT-1) hydropower plant construction site in Nepal's Rasuwa District when massive floods and landslides struck the area near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26. Despite challenging weather conditions and rugged terrain, the Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) plans to resume helicopter and ground searches early Friday. The KDRT conducted ground searches near Ramche and used drones for aerial searches but found no meaningful signs. KDRT chief Lee Kyoo-ho met with the commander of the Nepalese military unit in charge of the area to discuss the search operation, with plans to first use helicopters to assess the situation and determine search priorities.",
