Authorities in southern Switzerland are on high alert due to potential flooding from the Lonza River after the Birch Glacier collapse, which buried much of the village of Blatten. 90% of the village is destroyed, and a dam has formed upstream, risking flooding downstream. Residents are advised to prepare for evacuation. The Swiss army is deployed, but ground operations are hindered by instability. A search for a missing man has been suspended due to safety concerns. President Karin Keller-Sutter visited the affected area. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
