Two employees were rescued from a hydropower plant tunnel in Nepal nine days after severe flooding struck the region.
On September 4, local time, Nepalese authorities reported that "two living Nepali employees were rescued during search operations at the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant tunnel and were transported to a hospital."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the Overseas Emergency Relief Team (KDRT) plans to conduct aerial searches using two helicopters supported by the Nepalese military, weather permitting.
The helicopters will also carry thermal imaging drones for the search, and two firefighters remaining in Dunchi will continue ground searches.
On the same day, KDRT was in discussions with Nepalese officials regarding joint search areas and methods.
The areas of focus for the South Korean rescue team include the lower Yellow Bridge and the mountainous region behind the main camp east of the Trishuli River.
These locations are believed to be where missing persons may have sought refuge, and families of the missing have expressed hope for additional searches in these areas.
The lower Yellow Bridge has not yet been thoroughly searched, so KDRT plans to prioritize this area if helicopter operations are conducted.
