A climbing expedition led by world-renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja was struck by an avalanche on Broad Peak, a mountain located in Pakistan. The incident has resulted in a search and rescue operation, which is currently being hampered by harsh weather conditions.

Reports confirm that four bodies have been recovered from the site. Among the deceased identified are Pur Bahadur Gurung, a Nepali citizen, and Nadhira Alharthy, the first Omani climber to summit Mount Everest. While the status of the remaining climbers, including Purja, remains a primary focus of the ongoing rescue efforts, official details regarding the survivors are still emerging.

Nirmal Purja, also known as Nims Dai, gained international fame in 2019 for setting a world record by climbing all 14 of the world’s peaks over 8,000 meters in 189 days. The Guardian notes that Purja is a former member of the British Special Forces, a detail not mentioned in the Euronews report. While both outlets confirm the scale of the expedition and the location of the incident, they differ slightly in their characterization of the event's timeline and the specific focus on the victims' backgrounds.
