The death toll from floods in northern Nepal has risen to 469. According to an updated report from law enforcement officials, 469 bodies have been recovered in Nepal, 1,545 people were injured, and 1,545 people were rescued. On the morning of August 26, a powerful mudflow descended from Nepal, affecting the Gyirong border crossing point. Due to a rockfall and ice collapse, a torrent of water and debris rushed from the Lhende River and flooded the area near the China-Nepal border. As a result of the disaster, at least 558 people are still missing, including 260 foreigners. The natural disaster caused significant damage to critical infrastructure, damaging or destroying hydroelectric power stations, power lines, bridges, and roads. A total of more than 8,300 police officers have been dispatched to the disaster areas. Search and rescue operations are ongoing. On August 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to Chinese President Xi Jinping, Nepalese President Ram Chandra Paudel, and Nepalese Prime Minister Balendra Shah over the deaths caused by mudslides.
