Flash Flood in Nepal's Rasuwa District Kills 160, Hundreds Missing Including Indians
A massive flash flood triggered by an avalanche and possibly an earthquake struck Nepal's Rasuwa district near the Tibet border, killing at least 160 people and leaving over 750 missing, including more than 100 Indian nationals. The flood devastated villages, roads, bridges, and hydropower projects, prompting extensive rescue operations hindered by difficult terrain and weather.
