Nepal Floods Kill 469; Over 3,000 Missing Across Nepal and Tibet

Flash floods tore through Himalayan river valleys on August 26, 2026, killing 469 in Nepal. Over 3,000 remain missing across Nepal and China's Tibet region. Nepal's missing count nearly doubled to about 1,900 by August 28. Scientists preliminarily linked the disaster to a landslide-triggered glacial outburst — a sudden pulse event offering little warning, unlike predictable seasonal monsoon flooding.
