3D Imagery Traces Nepal Glacier Collapse to Gyirong Mudslide's Rapid Descent

China’s Ministry of Natural Resources released 3D before-and-after imagery showing the Gyirong Port mudslide. The disaster began with a Nepal glacier collapse at about 5,140 meters, sending ice and debris into the Cuoqian River, then into the Guobaxiaqu and Donglin Tsangpo rivers. The debris flow accelerated down roughly 20 km, reaching Gyirong Port in about seven minutes at an average speed near 50 m/s, with part of the flow briefly moving upstream. The event caused extensive damage to roads, bridges and buildings, hindering rescue efforts and necessitating drone surveys and expert terrain assessments to search for secondary hazards.

Iran Warns of Wider Conflict as U.S. Strikes Continue

The U.S. is carrying out a sixth straight night of strikes on Iran, with Iranian media reporting seven deaths and attacks on infrastructure across Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, Iranshahr and Bandar-e Khamir, including damage to a bridge and a railway station. Tehran warns that such attacks could spread if strikes persist, while Washington says it remains open to diplomacy but will hold Iran accountable. The strikes come amid ongoing exchanges over a recently signed MoU and amid broader regional tensions and claims of attacks by Iran and its allies, underscoring a escalating cycle without a clear path to de-escalation.

Two Weeks of Iran War Emissions Outstrip 84 Small Nations’ Yearly Output

A Climate and Community Institute analysis finds that the first 14 days of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran released more than 5 million metric tons of CO2, with roughly 2.5 million tonnes from destroyed buildings and 1.9 million tonnes from attacks on oil facilities and tankers; smaller contributions came from military fuels and lost equipment. The study notes emissions will rise as the conflict continues and warns that post-war fossil-fuel expansion could lock in decades of pollution.
