SEOUL, Sept. 6 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean corporate response team continued their search Sunday for nine nationals missing since devastating floods hit Nepal last month, officials said.

Four teams comprised of a total of 46 personnel were sent by Korea South-East Power Co. to conduct a ground search in mountainous terrain around the construction site where the nine were working when massive floods and landslides struck the area near the Nepal-Tibet border on Aug. 26.

The number of search personnel was nearly doubled from two days ago, when two teams comprising a total of 25 people were sent to the scene.

"We are pinning our hopes on the possibility that the missing fled to the highlands at the time of the accident and are carrying out search operations focused on mountainous areas," an official of Korea South-East Power said.

The company has also been using drones fitted with thermal imaging and infrared cameras, as well as search dogs, to aid the effort.

Doosan Enerbility Co. separately sent one helicopter and two drones to search the main camp of the Upper Trishuli-1 hydropower plant construction site in Rasuwa District.

The nine missing are six employees of Doosan Enerbility and three employees of Korea South-East Power.

The Korea Disaster Relief Team, dispatched by the government to support search-and-rescue operations, also conducted its own search in areas close to where the nine went missing.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met with his Nepali counterpart, Shisir Khanal, to request the country's special attention and support for the search effort, according to Cho's office.

The minister, who arrived in Nepal the previous day on a three-day visit, expressed his sympathies over the immense damage caused by the flood, as well as the deep concerns about the nine missing South Koreans.

首尔，9月6日（韩联社）——官员称，一支韩国企业救援队周日继续搜寻自上个月尼泊尔遭受毁灭性洪水袭击以来失踪的9名韩国公民。

8 月 26 日，尼泊尔-西藏边境附近发生大规模洪水和山体滑坡，9 名工人在施工现场附近的山区地形中作业。韩国东南电力公司派出 4 支队伍，共 46 名人员，前往事发地点进行地面搜寻。

搜救人员数量比两天前几乎翻了一番，当时派出了两支队伍，共 25 人前往现场。

“我们寄希望于失踪人员在事故发生时逃往高地，目前正在山区开展搜寻行动，”韩国东南电力公司的一名官员表示。

该公司还使用了配备热成像和红外摄像机的无人机以及搜救犬来协助搜寻工作。

斗山能源公司另行派出一架直升机和两架无人机，对拉苏瓦区上特里苏里-1水电站施工现场的主营地进行搜索。

失踪的九人中有六名斗山能源公司的员工和三名韩国东南电力公司的员工。

韩国政府派出支援搜救行动的韩国灾害救援队也在九人失踪地点附近的区域进行了搜寻。

与此同时，据赵显铉办公室消息，外交部长赵显铉会见了尼泊尔外长希希尔·卡纳尔，请求尼泊尔对搜救工作给予特别关注和支持。

这位部长前一天抵达尼泊尔，展开为期三天的访问。他对洪水造成的巨大损失表示同情，并对九名失踪的韩国人深表关切。
