Heavy rainfall has brought floods, inundations and landslides in the South Asian country of Nepal, causing at least 10 people to die and 7 more to go missing.
Nepali police stated that the landslides have closed highways in 28 places and that clearing efforts are ongoing. Meanwhile, Kathmandu Airport Spokesman reported that many domestic flights have been disrupted.
The heavy rains are expected to continue until Sunday morning.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director Rafael Grossi warned of “serious” damage to Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility after recent US airstrikes, citing the sensitivity of centrifuges to shock and vibration.
In an emergency board meeting, Grossi said multiple structures tied to uranium processing at Isfahan and Natanz were also hit. He stressed that no full assessment of underground damage is yet possible.
Grossi condemned attacks on nuclear facilities as a global risk, urging restraint and a return to diplomacy. “We must resume negotiations to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,” he said, expressing readiness to visit Iran.
He also confirmed Iran’s notification of new protective measures for nuclear materials, emphasizing they must comply with international safeguards.
