Another Kazakh woman has been reported missing following devastating floods and landslides near the border between Nepal and China, Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry said.

The Foreign Ministry said it is working closely with local authorities and remains in contact with the families of the missing women. Kazakh diplomats are also assisting with ongoing search efforts.
