A rescue operation yielded two survivors, a Chinese man and a woman, who were pulled from debris. They were found in separate locations, with the man being rescued from a tunnel. The total number of workers rescued alive from a hydropower project is now three, including two Nepalese workers rescued earlier.

Further details about the rescue are available, including the use of a joint team and a helicopter evacuation. The rescued man is undergoing a health assessment.

Images of the rescue have been released, showing the man being checked by a medic during a helicopter flight.
