Malaysia's SMART (Search and Rescue Management Team) will repatriate its personnel while handing over unmanned aerial vehicle equipment to Nepal's rescue teams, according to Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan. The transfer of drone technology aims to bolster ongoing search efforts in the country. Nepal has signalled it will not announce a formal end to rescue operations, citing the large number of missing persons still requiring attention. With roughly 5,000 individuals yet to be located, Nepalese authorities remain committed to continuing systematic search activities. The handover of Malaysian equipment represents a significant contribution to Nepal's extended rescue mission, equipping local teams with advanced technological resources to aid their efforts in challenging terrain.
