Flash floods in Nepal’s Rasuwa district killed at least eight people and left around 20 missing after monsoon rains swept away the key Nepal-China Friendship Bridge on Tuesday morning. The disaster destroyed vital trade infrastructure worth billions of rupees, including dozens of electric vehicles and cargo containers filled with electronics and footwear at the border crossing.
Among the missing are Nepali nationals including police officers and six Chinese citizens who were working at facilities near the trade route. The flooding has completely shut down the crucial Rasuwagadhi-Kerung trade corridor just before Nepal’s major festival season, raising concerns about rising prices for imported goods.

A worship ceremony at Tivy Antler Stadium in Kerrville brought hundreds together Wednesday evening to remember the 120 people killed in catastrophic July Fourth weekend floods across Texas. The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes during the devastating flash floods, with Kerr County suffering the heaviest losses including 27 deaths at Camp Mystic Christian summer camp.
Search crews continue looking for 172 missing people along miles of the Guadalupe River using helicopters, boats, and search dogs, though officials hold little hope of finding survivors. Governor Greg Abbott has called a special legislative session to address flood warning systems and emergency communications after local officials faced criticism over the response timeline.
