A devastating flash flood struck Nepal’s Rasuwa district near the Nepal-Tibet border, killing at least 19 people and leaving hundreds missing, including 105 Indian nationals. The sudden flooding severely damaged roads, bridges, buildings and hydropower infrastructure around the Bhote Koshi River. Rescue operations are underway, but difficult mountainous terrain and damaged infrastructure are complicating efforts. India has responded by keeping NDRF teams on standby in Bihar and other border areas as rising river levels could affect downstream districts. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, while India has offered humanitarian assistance to Nepal.
