Hundreds of people are missing and several are presumed dead after a hydropower dam collapsed in southeast Laos, state media reported.
The 410 MW project, which is under construction, collapsed around 8 p.m. local time on Monday, releasing 5 billion cubic meters of water, according to the Lao News Agency.
Several houses were reportedly swept away in the deluge, which prompted flash floods in several villages across Attapeu Province.
The News Agency said the incident has claimed “several human lives” while “several hundreds of people” remain missing. An estimated 6,660 people were displaced by the floods.
Local authorities have called for urgent aid supplies, including clothing, medicine, cash and drinking water.
