Nepal police issued a flood alert after the rupture of a glacial lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The lake was formed by the collapse of a glacier, which had already caused flooding on Wednesday. Nepalese authorities are monitoring the situation and warning potentially affected communities in the border region. The incident highlights the growing risks related to glacial melting in Asia, a region particularly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change.
