A glacial lake outburst in Bhutan has triggered flood warnings in neighboring Bengal and Assam, per Daijiworld. The sudden release of water poses risks to downstream communities.

Residents in Thimphu are continuing evacuations as authorities monitor the situation; no casualties have been reported so far, according to NDTV.

Bilateral cooperation between Bhutan and Thailand is strengthening, with Thai Prime Minister Anutin arriving for talks and three new deals signed, per Pattayamail. The agreements focus on expanding investment and regional collaboration.
