An avalanche strikes an international climbing team on Pakistan’s Broad Peak in the Karakoram range, and multiple climbers go missing. Several outlets report that Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja, the British-Nepali mountaineer, is among those unaccounted for after the incident. Different counts appear across reports: some describe 10 climbers missing, while others say six or nine were missing, reflecting updates as information changes.

Rescue operations are underway in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region, where authorities and the Pakistan Army lead or support search efforts, according to multiple sources. Rescuers face difficult conditions, including adverse weather, which slows progress and complicates locating the team.

Later developments include the recovery of four bodies from the mountain, reported by outlets including Al Jazeera and ABC Australia. NDTV also reports a body recovery after several days, describing Purja’s death and that he was killed along with other members of the expedition. Additional efforts continue to confirm the fate of the remaining missing climbers and to recover those still unaccounted for.
