A massive mudslide swept through Nepal's Rasuwa district along the Tibet border on Wednesday, leaving a devastating trail of destruction in its wake. At least 95 people have been confirmed dead, and 133 are still missing after the disaster hit the Himalayan country. The exact cause of the mudslide remains unclear, but a 4.4-magnitude earthquake occurred seven minutes before the event, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). Security footage from the Chinese side of the border captured the terrifying moments as a massive surge of rock, mud, and water destroyed buildings and vehicles, killing several people. The floodwaters surged through settlements, partially submerging or damaging houses and causing widespread destruction across mountainous valleys. Roads, bridges, hydropower facilities, and key infrastructure have been severely affected. Rescue efforts are ongoing, but high water levels have hindered the landing of army helicopters in some areas. Across the border in Tibet, a mudslide hit Gyirong county and the Gyirong port, causing disruptions to roads, communications, and power links. Chinese authorities reported casualties and missing people and ordered intensified search operations. The disaster has left authorities on high alert as the death toll and extent of damage could rise further.
