Nepal floods at China border kill 8, cause ‘major casualties’ in Tibet

NUWAKOT, Nepal: Massive flooding killed eight people in Nepal on Wednesday as Chinese state media reported “major casualties” from a mudslide at a Tibet trade hub on China’s side of the nations’ shared border. Images shared by Nepali police showed floodwater surging through a river, sweeping away houses in its path, while AFP images depicted the top floor of a house sticking out from muddy soil. “So far, eight bodies have been found. Rescue operations are underway,” Nepal police spokesman Abi Narayan Kafle told AFP.
