A video taken after flash flooding on the border between Nepal and China shows mudslides enveloping multiple buildings as people fled in Gyirong, Tibet, near China's border with Nepal.
The mudslides followed a 4.4-magnitude earthquake which occurred just seven minutes before video captured people sprinting away from the disaster, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
Shishir Khanal, Nepal's foreign minister, also suggested that earthquakes could be the cause in remarks to the country's parliament, according to Reuters.
