> A devastating flood struck northern Nepal near the Tibet border, leaving at least 162 dead in Nepal and three dead on the Tibetan side, with more than 1,000 people missing across the two countries. Hundreds of tourists from 28 countries are unaccounted for in Nepal. The initial tremor was identified as a glacier collapse, which may have sent ice, earth and sediment down the mountain.
