Body of Pakistani Climber Recovered Two Weeks After Broad Peak Avalanche
Local volunteers recovered the body of Pakistani climber Sohail Sakhi nearly two weeks after an avalanche on Broad Peak killed 10 mountaineers. The international expedition, led by climber Nirmal Purja, lost contact with base camp on July 30. Authorities confirmed all 10 climbers died in one of Pakistan's deadliest mountaineering accidents.
