Nepal Army soldiers recovered a victim's body at a hydropower project in Upper Trishuli following a landslide, as rescue operations continued.
Rescue teams in Nepal have recovered the body of a victim from the site of a hydropower project in Upper Trishuli, following a landslide that struck the area. The Nepal Army, which is leading the operation, released images showing soldiers carrying the deceased on a stretcher through the debris-strewn terrain on Sunday.
The incident occurred at the Upper Trishuli hydropower facility, a key infrastructure project in the region. While the exact number of casualties has not been officially confirmed, the presence of army personnel at the site indicates the severity of the situation.
Rescue efforts remain underway as teams work to search for any additional missing persons and assess the full extent of the damage. The mountainous terrain and challenging conditions are complicating the operation, with soldiers carefully navigating the area to ensure thorough coverage.
The disaster highlights the vulnerabilities of infrastructure projects in Nepal's rugged Himalayan landscape, where landslides are a recurring hazard, particularly during the monsoon season. Authorities have yet to release a detailed statement on the cause of the landslide or the total number of people affected.
