"Flash Floods in Northeast India Leave Five Dead and Dozens of Troops Missing"

Five people have died and 23 Indian Army personnel are missing after flash floods caused by a cloudburst hit the Teesta River in the Lachen valley of Sikkim, northeast India. The flooding resulted in the submergence of 41 army vehicles and the collapse of three bridges. Rescue operations are underway, with three people already rescued, and around 420 individuals have been moved to relief camps. Scientists attribute the increasing frequency and intensity of such extreme weather events to the human-caused climate crisis.
