Kerala is witnessing severe rain-related disruptions as heavy rainfall triggers landslides and flash floods across several districts. In Idukki, a deadly landslide struck Kottakamboor in Vattavada, killing two people and seriously injuring another. Visuals from the site show the aftermath as rescue teams and local residents work around the debris.  

Nepal is facing a fresh disaster scare after a 5.3 magnitude earthquake jolted the northwestern part of the country, days after devastating floods and landslides caused widespread damage across several regions. The earthquake struck in Mustang, with Lomanthang reported near the epicentre, sending tremors across nearby districts. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage following the quake, but the fresh seismic activity has raised concerns as authorities and residents continue to deal with the aftermath of severe weather. Adding to the alarm, a major landslide has blocked the Kimrung River in Parbat, creating the risk of water accumulation and a potential flood threat for communities downstream. WATCH
