legendary climber nirmal purja along with 10 feared missing in pak mountain

World-renowned mountaineer Nirmal "Nims" Purja and his 10-member international team are feared missing after a catastrophic avalanche struck Pakistan’s Broad Peak. Ground rescue teams have recovered four bodies while the Pakistan Army deploys search helicopters in a high-stakes race against time.

The tragedy occurred on the 8,047-meter Broad Peak—the world's 12th highest mountain—where a massive avalanche severed communication with Nims Purja's expedition, which included climbers from Nepal, the US, China, Oman, and Pakistan. Purja, a former Royal Marine who gained global fame in the Netflix documentary 14 Peaks by scaling all 8,000-meter summits in just over six months, was leading the high-altitude expedition when the strike occurred. As military helicopters navigate extreme weather and high-altitude terrain, this disaster underscores the deadly perils of Karakoram mountaineering.
