emirates7 - Incessant rains in Nepal have triggered devastating floods and landslides, resulting in at least 10 fatalities and leaving seven individuals missing in the last 24 hours, officials reported on Saturday.

Authorities indicated that many rivers in the Himalayan nation have swollen beyond their banks, inundating roads and bridges. The torrential downpours follow a delay in the retreat of South Asia's annual monsoon rains, which have affected the region for nearly a week.
