A catastrophic landslide, described as a 100-meter tidal wave of debris, has devastated a market area along the Nepal-Tibet border. Rescue operations are ongoing to locate at least 1,500 missing individuals, with hundreds of fatalities already confirmed. The scale of the event suggests a major geological or climate-induced failure, though the exact trigger remains under investigation.
