SloveniaOn July 31, 2026, a landslide struck the Pakistani mountain Broad Peak, killing four climbers and leaving several others missing. The incident occurred at an altitude of 6600 meters, where tracking devices indicated some climbers fell suddenly by 800 meters. Among the victims were Madira Al Hartly, an Oman-based climber who was the first from her country to summit Mount Everest, and Pur Bahadur Gurung, a Nepali guide known as Jukta. One of the missing climbers is Nirmal Purja, a globally renowned Nepali mountaineer who holds the world record for climbing all fourteen 8000-meter peaks in six months and six days. He is also featured in a Netflix documentary. Rescue efforts involve military helicopters, drones, and other equipment due to the remote and challenging terrain. Broad Peak, part of the Karakoram range, is considered a medium-level climb but poses significant risks due to unpredictable weather conditions.
