Korean Relief Team Continues Search Around Weir Dam Tunnel in Nepal

The Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) is continuing its search operations to find South Koreans missing following massive floods in Nepal.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, seven KDRT members departed from a Nepalese military base by helicopter this morning to move to the search area.

The ministry stated that today's search areas include the tunnel near the Weir Dam and the vicinity of the powerhouse.

These two locations are estimated to be where the South Koreans went missing.

Nine South Koreans working on the construction of a local hydroelectric power plant went missing due to floods that struck Nepal on August 26.
