Over two dozen people are missing after heavy rainfall in the Tibet region of China triggered a deluge in the Bhote Koshi River, which flows through Nepal and China, washing away the “Friendship Bridge” that connects them, officials said.

At least 18 people are missing in Nepal while China’s Xinhua news agency yesterday said 11 people were missing on the Chinese side of the border.
