Glacial Collapse Sparks Nepal-Tibet Flash Flood, 168 Dead, Over 1,000 Missing

A glacial collapse on 26 August 2026 unleashed a debris-laden flash flood through Nepal-Tibet border valleys, killing at least 168. Nepal recovered 165 bodies; China reported three more. Over 1,000 remain missing, including 393 foreigners from 10-plus countries. The USGS confirmed no earthquake — the seismic signal came purely from collapsing ice and rock.
