Japan has made an urgent appeal to the Nepalese government to assist in locating and rescuing five Japanese nationals missing after the recent devastating flash floods in the South Asian nation.
The announcement was reported by Kyodo news agency in an emergency bulletin, highlighting Tokyo's move amid the worsening disaster situation in Nepal.
Details regarding the identities, locations, or circumstances of the missing Japanese citizens have not yet been released. Rescue operations are being coordinated between the two countries to determine their whereabouts and ensure their safe return.
The flash floods in Nepal have caused significant loss of life and property, leaving many areas isolated and disrupting transportation. The Japanese government says it will continue to closely monitor the situation and strengthen coordination with Nepalese authorities in ongoing rescue efforts.
Officials from both nations are expected to hold direct talks soon to expedite the search operations.
