Flash floods kill at least 18, leave hundreds missing on Nepal-Tibet border

Flash floods triggered by a suspected earthquake-induced avalanche tore through Nepal’s Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts on Wednesday, August 26, leaving at least 18 people dead and nearly 400 others, including more than 100 Indians, unaccounted for. Across the border in Tibet, a mudslide struck the Gyirong crossing the same morning, with officials quoted by China’s Xinhua news agency warning of “major casualties.”
