A lake formed by a landslide in northern Pakistan could burst its banks by Tuesday, possibly triggering a giant wave that could sweep down the Himalayan valley and swamp dozens of villages.

Pakistani authorities hope that a new, army-built spillway will siphon off excess water when it starts to overflow, probably from Tuesday morning
