Nirmal Purja Missing After Broad Peak Avalanche

Renowned mountaineer Nirmal Purja and nine other climbers remain missing after an avalanche swept their group on Broad Peak (8,047 meters) on Thursday at 9:30 local time. The avalanche occurred at approximately 6,600 meters altitude, shortly after the climbers had passed through the lower, more vertical section of the mountain.

According to Pakistani authorities, four bodies have been recovered from the lower areas of the mountain, with two identified as Nadhira Al Harthy from Oman and Pur Bahadur Gurung, a Nepali mountain guide working for Purja's Elite Exped company. newsbetting.bond
