Nepali climber among avalanche victims in Pakistan
The renowned Nepalese-British climber Nirmal Purja, who set the record for the fastest ascent of the world's 14 highest peaks, has died along with nine other climbers from an expedition team in Pakistan as a result of an avalanche on Broad Peak, which stands at 8,051 meters. Broad Peak is one of the world's highest mountains and is considered one of the most technically challenging peaks in the Gilgit-Baltistan region. The accident occurred on Thursday, trapping the ice mass that surrounded the team, which included climbers from several countries, including Nepal, Pakistan, Oman, the United States, and China. The expedition organizers confirmed that all other climbers were either found dead or missing, making it one of the most tragic climbing accidents in the area.
