Renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja among missing climbers after avalanche on Broad Peak

An avalanche on Pakistan's Broad Peak resulted in four climbers' bodies being recovered, with six others still missing. Among the missing is renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja, who was leading the expedition. The group included climbers from Nepal, Pakistan, Oman, the United States, and China. Rescuers are continuing their efforts under challenging conditions, aided by army helicopters. China's foreign ministry expressed willingness to assist Pakistan. Nirmal Purja, known for his record-breaking climbs, had previously achieved notable feats such as scaling all 14 of the world's highest mountains in 189 days and completing the first winter ascent of K2. The affected climbers were part of an expedition organized by a Pakistani travel company, which had recently wished them a safe journey.
