Landslides triggered by torrential rain swept through two villages in Nepal on Sunday, killing at least 12 people.

Ten people were killed and 21 are missing after a massive landslide swept away homes and people in Bahrabise, 100 km east of Kathmandu near the border with the Tibet region of China, Nepali government official Murari Wasti said.

Two others died in a landslide in Baglung in the northwest.

Both landslides struck the villages before dawn and people could not escape to safety, rescuers said.

“Rescuers are looking for those who are missing,” Wasti told Reuters news agency.

The torrential rain, which caused a foothill to collapse, destroyed more than 100 houses in Bahrabise.

“We fear more landslides as the soil has grown weaker after the earthquake,” said Nimphunjo Sherpa, mayor of the affected Bahrabise municipality.

The latest fatalities took the death toll from landslides and flash floods in the June-September monsoon season to 314.

At least 111 people remain missing and 160 have been injured, Wasti said.
