Multiple landslides triggered by monsoon rains have left at least 10 people dead in Nepal and caused a major bridge along a national highway to cave in, officials said Friday.


Heavy rains have swept away homes and damaged roads across the country’s hilly western region and along the eastern plains bordering India, said home ministry spokesman Laxmi Prasad Dhakal.

"At least 10 people, including two children, have been killed due to landslides, six others are missing," Dhakal said.
