Nirmal Purja, a mountaineer and former British military serviceman, is feared missing following an avalanche during an expedition in Pakistan. Multiple reports say Purja went missing after leading a climb on Broad Peak, one of the world’s highest mountains. He is described as having served in the British armed forces for about 15 years before becoming a prominent mountaineer. The accounts state that the avalanche occurred while the expedition was under way, and that Purja is not accounted for afterward. Authorities and expedition teams are working to locate him, though the available information focuses on his disappearance rather than confirming his exact status. The reports do not provide details on the number of people affected, the size or timing of the avalanche, or any confirmed injuries beyond Purja’s reported disappearance. Broad Peak is located in Pakistan and is part of the Karakoram range. The situation is ongoing, with efforts continuing to determine what happened to Purja after the incident.
