A massive avalanche of ice, mud, and rock has struck the picturesque mountain village of Blatten in the Swiss Alps. The natural disaster, which occurred yesterday, has left the once vibrant village largely unrecognisable, covered under a thick layer of debris. Dramatic drone footage reveals the immense scale of the impact, with local authorities estimating that approximately 90% of Blatten has been affected by the powerful landslide. The village, home to nearly 300 inhabitants, had been evacuated on May 19th after geologists identified an imminent risk of an avalanche from the mountain above. Officials have confirmed that one person is currently missing, and the army has been deployed to conduct search operations. Watch this video to know more.
