A circulating image allegedly shows Nepali-British climber Nirmal Purja and nine others on Pakistan's Broad Peak moments before an avalanche swept the party away; ten climbers died at about 5,700 m, seven bodies have been recovered and three remain missing, as rescuers contend with hazardous terrain and rough weather. The expedition included climbers from Nepal, Pakistan, Oman, the US and China.
