The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "One of our nationals and one embassy staff member who had remained at the temporary shelter were also flown to a safe area by a Nepal Army helicopter this afternoon on the 28th."
The person evacuated this time is the site manager from Doosan Enerbility. Of the 10 South Koreans from Doosan Enerbility who had been stranded since the 26th after floodwaters washed away nearby roads, nine were moved to a safe area by Nepal Army helicopter the previous day. The site manager stayed behind, saying he would remain until all local workers were rescued. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also left a staff member from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nepal at the site to confirm the site manager's safe evacuation.
Meanwhile, the whereabouts of the nine South Koreans who lost contact after the flooding have still not been confirmed.
