Over 100 people are missing after a hydropower dam in Laos collapsed on Tuesday.
According to media reports, officials brought boats to help evacuate people in San Sai district of Attapeu Province in the southeast of Thailand as water levels rise after the dam collapsed.
Further details about the incident have still not been reported. A video posted by the news network on its Facebook page showed villagers stopping to watch the fast-flowing water from the side of a river bank.
Environmental rights groups have for years raised concerns about Laos’ hydropower ambitions, including worries over the impact of dams on the Mekong River, its flora and fauna, the rural communities and local economies that depend on it.
