Preliminary findings suggest that a magnitude 4.4 earthquake on the Tibetan side triggered an ice avalanche, which subsequently caused the catastrophic Bhotekoshi river flooding.
Experts report that the avalanche fell into and blocked the Lhende river near the border, creating a temporary water build-up that quickly burst downstream.
Because the area experienced no heavy rainfall, authorities are also actively investigating whether the seismic event simultaneously triggered a glacial lake outburst.
