Last update: 33 minutes ago

Nepal-Tibet Flood Crisis: A glacial collapse triggered flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border, killing at least 160 and leaving more than 1,000 people missing, including hundreds of foreign tourists; Seoul says nine South Koreans working on a hydropower project are unaccounted for as an 11-member rapid response team prepares to depart. Jeju Air Crash Probe: South Korean police seek indictments of seven transport ministry officials over alleged falsification tied to the Jeju Air disaster, where investigators say a concrete localiser structure may have worsened the crash. Central Bank Watch: The Bank of Korea raised rates to 3% for a second straight meeting, keeping a hawkish tone while lifting its 2026 growth outlook to 3.3%. Arctic Shipping Push: A South Korean container ship has begun a commercial trial voyage to Europe via the Arctic Northern Sea Route, aiming to cut travel time versus traditional routes. Tourism Boom: Seoul logged a record 1.61 million foreign visitors in July, with spending rising faster than arrivals. Heat Safety: Nearly 3,800 people have been treated for heat-related illnesses this summer, with the highest risk alert continuing through Friday.
