At least 50 people missing after flash floods in Indian Himalayan town, TV says
Visuals on local TV channels showed flood waters surging down a mountain and crashing into a hamlet at the foothills, sweeping away houses and a road in Uttarkashi town in the Himalayas.
There was likely to be damage because of an increase in water levels in the Harshil area of Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand police said in a post on X, asking residents to stay away from rivers.
Uttarakhand, which is located in the Himalayas, is increasingly prone to flash floods and landslides, which some experts blame on climate change.

Deadly Indian Himalayan flood likely caused by glacier collapse, experts say
This handout photograph released on August 6, 2025 by the Indian Army shows security and relief personnel heaving rocks and removing debris to build a crossing across a stream of dense sludge during a search and rescue operation, a day after a cloudburst caused a massive mudslide and flash floods in India's Uttarakhand state. The Indian army brought in sniffer dogs, drones and heavy earth-moving equipment to search for scores of people missing after the deadly Himalayan flash floods. At least four people were killed and more than 50 are unaccounted for after a wall of muddy water and debris tore down a narrow mountain valley, smashing into the town of Dharali in Uttarakhand state, rescue officials said on August 6, 2025. - Photo: AFP NEW DELHI: A deadly wall of muddy water that swept away an Indian Himalayan town this week was likely caused by a rapidly melting glacier exacerbated by the rising effects of climate change, experts said on Thursday (Aug 7). Scores of people are missing after water and debris tore down a narrow mountain valley, smashing into the town of Dharali in Uttarakhand state on Tuesday. Several people could be seen in videos running before being engulfed as waves uprooted entire buildings, leaving others smothered in freezing sludge. At least four people have been confirmed killed, but at least 50 others are missing. Government officials said shortly after the disaster that the flood was caused by an intense "cloudburst" of rain. However, experts assessing the damage suggested that it was only the final trigger, adding to days of prolonged rains that had already soaked and loosened the ground. P.K. Joshi, of New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, an expert on Himalayan hazards, said it appeared the flood was caused by the collapse of debris -- known as moraine -- that had dammed a lake of meltwater from a retreating glacier. "Given the persistent rainfall over preceding days and the sudden discharge observed, a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) or collapse of a moraine-dammed lake is suspected as the primary trigger," Joshi told AFP. That would have contributed to a "sudden high energy flash flood", he said, noting that glacial terrain upstream of the town included "unstable sediment zones". Cloud cover has obstructed satellite imagery to check for the exact source of the debris, and Joshi cautioned that there was not enough satellite data for a "definitive confirmation". - 'Disaster severity' - Safi Ahsan Rizvi, an adviser to the National Disaster Management Authority, also said that it was "likely" that the cause was a "glacio-fluvial debris landslide". Sandip Tanu Mandal, a glaciologist at New Delhi's Mobius Foundation, also pointed to the "possibility of a GLOF", caused by "significant water accumulation in the lake due to increased melting and rainfall". Mandal noted that while heavy, the amount of rain immediately before the flood was "not very significant" in comparison to the vast volumes of water that poured down the valley. That would indicate the source was a potentially collapsing lake. Himalayan glaciers, which provide critical water to nearly two billion people, are melting faster than ever before due to climate change, exposing communities to unpredictable and costly disasters, scientists warn. The softening of permafrost increases the chances of landslides. Joshi said the latest disaster "highlights the complex and interconnected nature of Himalayan hazards". Rapid development and building downstream meant that the damage caused was multiplied. "The land use patterns in the floodplain exacerbated the disaster severity," Joshi said. - AFP

Deadly Indian Himalayan flood linked to glacier collapse, climate change
NEW DELHI: A deadly flood that devastated an Indian Himalayan town this week was likely caused by a collapsing glacier, worsened by climate change, experts said. Scores remain missing after a torrent of water and debris tore through Dharali in Uttarakhand state on Tuesday. Videos show people fleeing before being engulfed by waves that uprooted buildings and buried others in freezing mud. At least four deaths have been confirmed, with over 50 still missing. Officials initially blamed an intense 'cloudburst,' but experts argue heavy rains merely triggered the disaster after days of soil saturation. P.K. Joshi, a Himalayan hazards specialist, suggested a moraine dam holding glacial meltwater collapsed, causing a flash flood. 'Given the persistent rainfall and sudden discharge, a glacial lake outburst flood or moraine dam failure is suspected,' Joshi told AFP. He noted unstable sediment zones upstream contributed to the flood's destructive force. Satellite checks for debris sources remain hampered by cloud cover, leaving no definitive confirmation. Safi Ahsan Rizvi of India's disaster agency also cited a 'glacio-fluvial debris landslide' as the likely cause. Glaciologist Sandip Tanu Mandal pointed to excessive meltwater and rainfall filling a glacial lake before its potential collapse. Mandal noted the flood's water volume far exceeded rainfall levels, indicating a lake breach. Himalayan glaciers, vital for two billion people, are melting rapidly due to climate change, raising disaster risks. Permafrost thaw increases landslide threats, compounding hazards in the fragile region. Joshi warned the disaster underscores the 'interconnected nature of Himalayan hazards.'

France battles huge wildfire for second day in a row
The blaze near the border with Spain is France's biggest wildfire since 1949. (AP pic) ST-LAURENT-DE-LA-CABRERISSE: French firefighters battled for a second day today to contain its biggest wildfire in nearly eight decades, which has burnt over 16,000 hectares and killed one person. Reuters TV images showed plumes of smoke rising over the forest area in the region of Aude in southern France. 'As of now, the fire has not been brought under control,' Christophe Magny, one of the officials leading the firefighting operation, told BFM TV. The blaze near the border with Spain towards the Mediterranean Sea began earlier this week and has already swept through an area bigger than Paris. Officials have said it is France's biggest wildfire since 1949. Scientists say the Mediterranean region's hotter, drier summers put it at high risk of wildfires.
