World-renowned climber Nirmal Purja among 10 struck by avalanche on Pakistan mountain

Rescue teams said world-renowned climber Nirmal Purja was among 10 people caught in an avalanche on a Pakistan mountain. Teams began searching for the climbers after reports of the incident, but conditions on the slopes—steep terrain and snow instability—slowed operations. Officials and mountaineering groups coordinated on the safest ways to reach the last known positions. Authorities said they are monitoring for potential secondary slides while attempting to locate survivors or recover remains. Further updates depend on weather, visibility, and accessibility as the search progresses.
