BEIJING, Aug 29 (Reuters) - The threat of a lake formed after a glacier collapse bursting near the China-Nepal border where a devastating flood occurred earlier this week has decreased, Chinese authorities said on Saturday,

China's official response to U.S. secondary Iran sanctions has also been muted so far. Beijing responded by saying it would "take all necessary measures" to protect itself, but did not elaborate on possible actions.

China's foreign ministry has told its citizens to leave the southern African kingdom of Eswatini over "security risks". The ministry cited "rampant cyber fraud and criminal activities associated with gambling" as among its security concerns, but did not give details.

The warning comes after Wednesday's deadly flash flood in the same area which scientists say was triggered by the collapse of a mountain glacier into a river.
