Seven soldiers have been killed in a building collapse in India as monsoon rainfall continues to claim lives across South Asia.
The three-storey property collapsed amid torrential downpours on Sunday, leaving eight dead. Seven of those killed were military personnel.
Most of those killed or trapped were sitting in a ground floor restaurant in the building when it collapsed because of weakened foundations, according to officials.
The collapse occurred in the town of Solan, 195 miles north of New Delhi. So far 31 people have been rescued.
India's northeastern state of Assam has been hard hit by the floods brought by the monsoon, with at least 1.5 million people displaced.
Reports stated at least 25 people had died across the country so far, though an official figure is unclear.
The news comes after authorities confirmed 65 people had died in Nepal in recent days, in tragedies linked to flash floods and landslides.
There were at least 38 injured and 30 more missing, according to a statement from Nepal Police.
Television channels showed roofs of houses submerged in flood waters in the southern plains, with people wading through chest-deep water carrying their belongings overhead.
Officials said in some areas rains had eased, though some rivers in the eastern part of the country were still above flood level and authorities asked residents to remain alert.
While in Bangladesh there have been at least 10 confirmed fatalities, with around half a million people displaced due to villages being flooded.
The June to September monsoon season regularly sees fatal rains across South Asia.
