Heavy rains in Nepal’s Mustang district triggered flooding and landslides, causing a section of a mountain to collapse into a nearby river.
The Mustang region, located in the far north of Nepal, is a remote, mountainous area that is prone to sudden weather changes.
According to reports, the rainfall was intense enough to destabilise part of the mountain, which then fell into the river, creating a sudden surge of water.
Local authorities have responded to the incident, but no further details on casualties or damage have been released at this time.
The event highlights the vulnerability of Nepal’s high‑altitude communities to extreme weather events.
