Floods triggered by torrential rains tore down a Himalayan mountain valley between China and Nepal on Tuesday, with at least one killed and 28 missing, officials and state media said. The wall of water also swept away one of the main bridges linking Nepal and China over the Bhotekoshi river. Deadly floods and landslides are common across South Asia during the monsoon season from June to September, but experts say climate change is making them worse. In Nepal, one person has been confirmed dead and 17 others, 11 Nepalis and six Chinese, are listed as missing, according to Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority.
