Glacier break or earthquake? What triggered the Nepal floods? | Explained
A flash flood in Nepal's Bhote Koshi–Trishuli river system killed at least 389 people and left over 1,400 missing. Evidence suggests the disaster was triggered by a significant collapse of ice and rock near Langtang Lirung, rather than heavy rainfall. Authorities are now focused on recovery efforts and assessing the long-term impacts of this event.
