# A devastating flash flood has killed at least nine people and left hundreds of tourists missing along Nepal’s border with Tibet. Reuters reports 384 travellers, including 291 foreign nationals, are unaccounted for. Villages, roads, bridges and hydropower projects were swept away in the mountainous Rasuwa district. Authorities say a mudslide may have been triggered by a 4.4-magnitude earthquake, causing an ice-and-rock avalanche that blocked the Lhende Khola river. Rescue efforts are being hampered by damaged roads and dangerous conditions, while authorities warn of further flooding.
