A massive glacier collapse in the Himalayas has sent a devastating surge of water and debris flooding through the border region between Nepal and Tibet. Authorities are warning of severe damage to infrastructure and potential risks to local communities downstream. The disaster follows recent concerns over accelerating glacial melt in the region due to rising temperatures. Rescue and assessment efforts are reportedly underway as officials assess the full extent of the destruction.
