The massive floods and mudslides hit Nepal's north-central Himalayan region near the Nepal-Tibet border last Wednesday, killing more than 800 people and leaving around 3,000 others missing. [^2]

The South Korean foreign ministry announced that a 44-person disaster relief team departed for Nepal to support search and rescue efforts following devastating floods. [^3]

The team will stay in Nepal for about 10 days, conducting search and rescue operations for victims, including nine South Koreans who remain unaccounted for. [^4]

Approximately 2,300 families have reported missing relatives to Nepal Telecom, Ncell, Huawei, and police authorities. [^5]

Environmental expert Lochan Kumar Joshi, who worked at the Upper Trishuli-1 hydropower plant, was last confirmed connected to the 'Ramche-C' base station in Rasuwa at 9:10 AM on August 31, 2026. [^6]

The Nepalese government estimates the total number of missing persons by comparing mobile connection logs before and after the flood, noting that connections were cut off between 8:30 AM and 9:45 AM from the Nepal-China border southward to Betrawati. [^7]

The KDRT departed for Nepal shortly before midnight Tuesday aboard a KC-330 Cygnus multirole tanker transport aircraft. [^8]
