Portugal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MNE) reported that two brothers who were missing in Nepal have been located safe. The confirmation came on Friday after they disappeared on Thursday during a trip in the Asian country.

An MNE source confirmed to Rádio Observador that the brothers are in good health and safe after being found. This positive news comes amid concerns for other nationals who are still being searched for.

In total, three Portuguese citizens remain missing in Nepal. The MNE has not disclosed additional details regarding the circumstances of the disappearance of the other individuals.

Furthermore, the Portuguese Prime Minister reiterated his confidence in the safety of Luís Neves, one of the individuals previously reported missing, whose location details were not specified in the statement.

Authorities continue to work on locating the three missing citizens, but no further details about the search operations have been released.

The situation in Nepal has raised concerns among the families and friends of the missing individuals, increasing the anxiety for the safety and well-being of all Portuguese citizens in the region.
