Flash Floods Kill Three, Evacuate Hundreds in Himachal Pradesh, Northeast Romania

Severe flash floods have caused significant destruction and fatalities in both Himachal Pradesh, India, and northeastern Romania. In Mandi town, Himachal Pradesh, a cloudburst-triggered flash flood killed three people, left one woman missing, submerged homes, and buried over 20 vehicles, disrupting roads and power infrastructure, with ongoing rescue efforts to evacuate affected residents. The region has suffered extensive monsoon-related damage this season, with over 90 deaths and substantial economic losses reported. Meanwhile, northeastern Romania experienced torrential rains causing flash floods that killed three elderly individuals and forced the evacuation of nearly 900 people, primarily in Suceava and Neamt counties. Floodwaters damaged thousands of homes, blocked roads, destroyed bridges, and necessitated helicopter and ground rescue operations. Authorities in both regions continue to conduct search and rescue missions amid ongoing weather challenges.
