CHAMPASAK, Laos: The bodies of 17 people have been recovered after flash floods caused by a dam breach in southern Laos, a Thai consular official at the scene said Wednesday.
A wall of water was unleashed Monday after parts of the dam were washed away, sending floods surging downstream, sweeping away homes and leaving an unknown number of people missing.
“There are 17 bodies recovered so far, but we cannot estimate the number of missing yet,” Chana Miencharoen, said, adding roof-level flood waters have submerged several villages near the Xe-Namnoy dam.
