Rescuers are searching for a dozen people swept away by an avalanche that killed at least two others on a Nepalese mountain during severe weather.
At least 10 people have been rescued from Mount Himlung, a 7,126-metre (23,380-foot) peak in north-central Nepal after the avalanche hit on Sunday.
The remains of the two people who were killed were airlifted on Monday to Kathmandu airport and transported to the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital.
Flooding and landslides were reported in the Manang district, where the mountain is located, over the weekend, both caused by heavy rainfall, the district administration said.
