Landslides in Nepal kill 12 people, at least 21 missing
Landslides triggered by torrential rain swept through two villages of Nepal on Sunday, September 13, killing at least 12 people, a government official said.
Ten people were killed and 21 are missing after a massive landslide swept away homes and people in Barahbise in Sindhupalchok district, 100 km (62 miles) east of Kathmandu near the border with the Tibet region of China, Nepali government official Murari Wasti said.
Two others died in a landslide in Baglung in the northwest. Both landslides struck the villages before dawn and people could not escape to safety, rescuers said.
The latest fatalities took the death toll from landslides and flash floods in the June-September monsoon season to 314. At least 111 people remain missing and 160 have been injured, Wasti said.
Landslides commonly occur in mountainous regions of Nepal during the annual monsoon rains.
