The confirmed toll rose to 273 dead in Nepal and 3 in Tibet. In Nepal, more than 1300 remain people missing. According to Nepal's Tourism Board said about 600 of the missing were foreigners, including 178 Indian nationals, more than 60 Americans, 34 Australians, 33 British nationals, 25 Canadians and citizens of some 30 other countries. It's unclear how many were en route to Mount Kailash in Tibet, a Hindu pilgrimage site. Nepal deployed more than 5,000 army and police personnel with helicopters for search and rescue and requested assistance from India and China. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered all possible humanitarian assistance and sent rescue aircraft with supplies. Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered large scale search and rescue operations in Gyirong. The International Federation of Red Cross released US$1.2 million in emergency funding. United Nations personnel were deployed and the European Union activated satellite mapping services. South Korea set up a government task force, and the United States pledged US$500,000. Scientists linked the disaster to accelerating glacier melt in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region, where ice loss ran 65% faster from 2011 to 2020 than the previous decade and has roughly doubled since 2000. Nepal's glaciers have lost about one third of their ice volume over three decades. Satellite data showed unusually warm conditions before the collapse, though direct climate change attribution remained under investigation.

At around 9 am local time, an ice rock avalanche broke loose from a glacier at about 5,200 meters elevation. It fell roughly 1,200 meters and temporarily dammed the Lhende Khola, a tributary of the Bhotekoshi River. The blockage then failed and unleashed a flash flood. The flood also surged into the Trishuli and Narayani rivers, raising the Trishuli's level by about 27 feet, roughly 9 meters, within 30 minutes. It struck Nepal's Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts, with Nuwakot hardest hit, before crossing into Tibet's Gyirong County. The US Geological Survey initially recorded a magnitude 4.4 earthquake about 100Km/ 62 miles  north of Kathmandu around the same time. It later clarified that the seismic signal came from the landslide itself, registering magnitude 5.2. This was the second time the Lhende Khola had flooded in 14 months, after a glacial lake overflow in August 2025 killed 9 people. The disaster destroyed multiple villages, at least 19 bridges including one already damaged in the 2025 floods, about 40 kilometers of roads, and hydropower projects, and buried buildings and vehicles in mud. An early tally that day counted 22 confirmed deaths and 384 missing tourists, mostly Indian nationals on pilgrimage to Mount Kailash along with Americans, Britons and Malaysians.

The Liberian flagged bulk carrier Minoan Pioneer was reportedly struck by an unidentified projectile in the Strait of Hormuz about 20 nautical miles (37 km) northeast of Khasab, Oman, at 02:00 local time, leaving one crew member missing. The UK Maritime Trade Operations said the vessel broadcast a distress message after being hit by an unknown projectile that struck the engine room, causing a complete power blackout and a fire in the accommodation area. The crew were fighting the fire and requesting assistance, while the vessel's third engineer remained missing. The attack followed two separate incidents on 2 August, in which the VLCC Egypt Prosperity and the Aframax On Pride escaped damage after explosions and reported warning shots in Omani waters in the Strait of Hormuz. The incidents came as US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were underway, while Iran denied direct talks with the United States and said it was negotiating with Oman over a temporary shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian media also reported that Iranian forces struck a US military base in northern Kuwait.

Shortly before 8 pm local time, a suicide bomber attacked an anti-militant rally near a police station in Kabal, Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. According to local officials, 17 people were killed in the attack, including seven police officers and 10 civilians, and 34 others were wounded. Hundreds of demonstrators had gathered to demand peace and protest the resurgence of militant activity in the region when the attacker detonated explosives. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. Swat Valley was a stronghold of Islamic militants until a Pakistani military operation in 2007 restored government control. In recent months, militants have reappeared, raising concerns that the Pakistani Taliban are attempting to reestablish a presence in the region, prompting residents to hold repeated anti-Taliban rallies in protest.

At approximately 20:00 local time, a woman carrying a homemade improvised explosive device approached the entrance of the Balzi Rossi Italian restaurant in Kudrinskaya Square, central Moscow, where a private event was being held. After a security guard stopped her from entering, the device detonated outside the entrance, killing the woman, the security guard and a restaurant patron, and injuring 21 others, including six who were reported in critical condition. Russian authorities opened a terrorism investigation and were examining whether the woman knowingly carried the bomb or whether it had been remotely detonated without her knowledge. Unconfirmed reports indicated that Colonel General Aleksandr Chayko, commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, who was reportedly attending a private birthday celebration at the restaurant, may have been the intended target, although officials neither confirmed the reports nor identified any suspects or motive, and no group claimed responsibility.

At least 14 members of the Niger Defense and Security Forces (FDS) were killed in a coordinated terrorist attack and subsequent ambush by suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Greater Sahara militants near N'Guigmi in the Diffa Region of southeastern Niger. The attack began when the militants assaulted a National Guard position, prompting military reinforcements to deploy to the area. About one kilometer from the base, the reinforcements were caught in a well-planned ambush, resulting in the deaths of 10 soldiers, including an officer, and four National Guard personnel. Four additional National Guard members were injured, one critically. Security forces launched search operations to track down the attackers.
