Glacial Collapse Triggers Nepal-Tibet Flash Flood, Killing at Least 168 with Over 1,000 Missing

A glacial collapse on 26 August 2026 sent a debris-laden flash flood through Nepal-Tibet border valleys, killing at least 168 people. Nepal police recovered 165 bodies; Chinese state media reported three more on the Tibet side. Over 1,000 remain unaccounted for across both borders, including 393 foreign nationals from at least 10 countries. The USGS confirmed no earthquake occurred — the seismic signal came from collapsing ice and rock.
