Nepal Issues Fresh Flood Warning, Urges Residents to Move to Higher Ground

Nepalese authorities issued a fresh flood warning after water levels rose again in the Bhotekoshi River.

Residents in flood-hit and vulnerable areas were advised through mobile alerts to move to higher ground as officials monitored the risk of further flooding.

Rescue teams, including thousands of Nepali troops, continued efforts to reach people trapped in flood-damaged hydropower tunnels.

The English reports attribute the warning to Nepal’s disaster authorities, not specifically to the army. (DW)
