Rescuers in Nepal use explosives to blast a hillside as they search for workers trapped after flooding and landslides linked to a severe weather event. Families wait anxiously as teams try to access affected areas where heavy debris has blocked roads and hampered rescue routes.
Authorities report that the overall flooding death toll has risen to 939. The use of explosives reflects the challenge of reaching the hydropower site, where landslides and unstable ground make standard access difficult. Officials say search efforts continue alongside recovery work, with rescuers working to clear debris and reach survivors or accounts of those still missing.
Across coverage, the central focus remains the same: rescue operations are ongoing and difficult, and explosive charges are being used to open paths to hard-to-reach locations. Reports also converge on the scale of the disaster, with the death toll continuing to climb as responders work through damaged terrain.
