A flood caused by the Shintaphu glacial lake bursting its banks has washed away infrastructure at the Gasa Tshachu natural hot springs in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
According to state broadcaster BBS on Friday, no injuries or loss of life had been reported from Thursday night’s flash flood.
It added that the extent of the damage was unknown because of “darkness and the strong flow” of floodwaters.
Kuensel said that as authorities assess the damage, concerns have emerged about a large artificial lake formed after the flood-affected river channels conjoined following the outburst.
