A landslide triggered by monsoon rains in Nepal swept two buses off a highway and into a river, leaving one person dead and over 50 missing. Rescuers are struggling to search the raging river amid fierce currents. Deadly crashes are common in Nepal due to poor road conditions and reckless driving.
The death toll from a stone quarry collapse in Mizoram on Tuesday has risen to 17, with 12 people still missing. The collapse was caused by incessant rains, attributed to the impact of Cyclone Remal. Rescue efforts have been hampered by the heavy rainfall, which has also triggered landslides elsewhere in the state capital, cutting it off from the rest of the country.
