While #China continues to suppress information about deaths + impacts of catastrophic floods at #Tibet-#Nepal border area just weeks ago, state media announces new round of military training for middle school students in #Kyirong. tibetwatch.org/a-damocles-s...

China has sent 50+ scientists to Nepal to reconstruct the Aug 26 Himalayan disaster chain: from glacier collapse to debris flow, mudflow, & flooding. The joint expedition will use drones, helicopters, & field surveys to inform reconstruction at Tibet’s #Kyirong Port. archive.is/wd8DP

@civicusalliance.bsky.social Monitor documents tightening controls in #Tibet: activist #ZhangYi arrested after showing a Dalai Lama photo at Sera Monastery; #Kyirong flood videos scrubbed; journalists blocked from the disaster zone; & at least 10 people punished for alleged “rumours.”

It will be one month tomorrow after the disaster on the #Nepal #Tibet border in #Rasuwa and #Kyirong on August 26. When asked on September 24 for an update on foreigners who died on the Tibetan side, the Chinese spokesperson only responded that "261 foreign nationals missing"

New @tibetwatch.org report on the #Kyirong disaster: a casualty count fixed at 562 with no names, people punished for posting other figures, a risk documented a year earlier, glacier data withheld from Nepal, and a "strategic corridor" built over #Tibetan history. tibetwatch.org/a-damocles-s...

AI-generated #disinformation is muddying the record of the deadly Tibet–Nepal floods. @afp.com traced a fake “second CCTV angle” of the destruction at #Kyirong Port to genuine footage posted months earlier, then manipulated with synthetic floodwaters. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

#Chinese state media continue to highlight recovery efforts due to the debris flow disaster at the Tibet-Nepal border region of #Kyirong. However, no casualty update since Sept. 5, 2026, when they said there were "43 deaths and 519 missing persons."

#华语青年挺藏会 argues the #Kyirong disaster was not simply a natural disaster: Beijing knew the border region faced severe geological risks but continued expanding ports, roads, & settlements there, prioritising development and border security over ecological risk & safety.

@robbiebarnett.bsky.social point on #Kyirong: became the main land crossing only after the 2015 earthquake shut Zhangmu. Trade concentrated into one narrow valley & settlement followed the logistics up the gorge. The risk exposure was built by a prior disaster www.thinkingtaiwan.net/article/100459

China says 43 people died in the Aug. 26 mudslide at the Nepal-Tibet border. But an RFA source says 26 died in one #Kyirong village alone, while another resident said apparently no one at the border checkpoint survived. Hundreds remain missing. www.rfa.org/english/tibe...

#China now raised the #Kyirong Debris Flow death to 43 as of Sept. 5, 2026, with 519 missing, including 261 foreign nationals from 23 countries. Following criticism some foreign media were allowed to visit Kyirong. In comparison, #Nepal has been much open to public on its side. #Tibet #Gyirong
