Nearly 19 million of Nepal’s 30 million people are eligible to vote to pick a 275-member legislature.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth acknowledged on Wednesday that some Iranian air attacks may still hit their targets even as he asserted that US military superiority is quickly giving it control of the Islamic Republic’s airspace.

Nepal will vote today – a first since last year’s Gen Z protests that toppled the government and led to the death of at least 77 people. The election will replace the interim government of Sushila Karki that has been leading the Himalayan country.
