In Nepal, two individuals were rescued in separate operations following devastating floods that struck the country 10 days ago. A man was saved from a hydropower tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant, marking the third worker rescued from the site. The rescue involved a joint effort by Nepalese military personnel and South Korean disaster experts. Meanwhile, in the flood-hit town of Nuwakot, a woman was pulled alive from a house and airlifted to Kathmandu. The floods, likely caused by a glacier collapse, have resulted in at least 1,300 deaths and left over 5,000 people missing. Approximately 900 workers are unaccounted for across 12 hydropower projects, with about 500 believed to be trapped in tunnels.
