Pakistan recovers four bodies after Broad Peak avalanche kills international climbers
Pakistani military-backed rescue teams recovered four bodies while searching for 10 international climbers missing after an avalanche on Broad Peak in the Karakoram range. Among the missing is Nirmal Purja, a former Royal Marine who gained global fame by summiting all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks in just over six months. Poor weather is hampering helicopter rescue operations.
