Flash floods linked to glacial lake hazards hit Nepal, prompting experts to warn that the situation could worsen. NDTV reports that the flood speed may have reached about 300 km/h, citing expert assessment of the event’s intensity.
Experts also warn that additional rockfall or further destabilization could trigger a cascading impact affecting all three connected lakes. They say the risk can be reduced if authorities carry out a controlled release of water from the affected lake system, but they note there is no information indicating such measures are currently underway. The reports focus on the need for monitoring and mitigation to prevent a potential second deluge.
