At Least 9 Killed as Heavy Rain Floods Nepal-China Border

The continuous monsoon rainfall in China on Monday night triggered a flood in the Bhotekoshi River in Nepal.

The flooded river carried away at least nine people. Their bodies were recovered downstream, miles away from Dhading and Chitwan districts, the Republica newspaper reported.

The Miteri Bridge in Rasuwa district, 120 km northeast of Kathmandu, was swept away by flooding at around 3:15 am on Tuesday.

Of the 20 individuals reported missing, three are security personnel and six are Chinese nationals.

Dozens of rescuers were already in the area.

The flood damaged four hydropower projects in the district, affecting the supply of at least 211 MW of electricity to the national power grid.

The flooded river swept away 23 cargo containers, six freight trucks, and 35 electric vehicles.
