Mountaineers missing on Broad Peak: at least two dead

In the Pakistani Karakoram Mountains, at least two climbers are confirmed dead after a snow avalanche on the Broad Peak, which stands at approximately 8,050 meters. The Alpine Club Pakistan (ACP) reported losing contact with a team of international climbers yesterday morning. Two additional bodies were found but not yet declared deceased. A helicopter-supported search operation is currently underway. Among the missing climbers are six from Nepal, one from Pakistan, one Chinese climber, one American woman, and one Omani woman. The expedition was led by Nirmal Purja, a renowned Nepalese-British climber known for climbing all 14 eight-thousanders in seven months in 2019. His achievement was featured in the Netflix documentary '14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible,' though his record was later surpassed by a Norwegian and a Nepali climber in August 2023.
