Lake Formed by Landslide Could Burst, Threatening New Flood on Nepal-Tibet Border

Chinese and Nepalese authorities warned on August 27–28, 2026, that a lake formed when landslide rubble blocked a river could burst its walls. Rain could fill it with 3 million cubic meters of water in three days, threatening nearby areas. An earlier flood from a glacier collapse killed 469 and left over 1,300 missing.
