Floods and landslides caused by two days of heavy rain in Nepal have killed 11 people. Moreover, nine more people were killed by lightning at the same time. The country's authorities confirmed this information on Wednesday (June 26).

District Commissioner Buddha Bahadur Gurung said the landslide swept away three houses in Lamjung district, about 125 kilometers west of Kathmandu, killing four people, including two children.

Four people have died in floods since Tuesday in Morang district, about 500 kilometers southeast of Nepal's capital. The District Officer there Tek Kumar Regmi confirmed this information. Three more people died in landslides in Kaski in the west and Okhaldhunga in eastern Nepal.

Floods and landslides in mostly mountainous Nepal kill hundreds of people every year during the monsoon season from mid-June to mid-September.
