The Pakistan Army successfully rescued seven climbers, including three Russians and four Pakistanis, stranded at an altitude of 20,100 feet in Gilgit-Baltistan.
On August 17, a group of Russian climbers were trapped in a distressing situation after an Avalanch hit the Gasherbrum IV mountain in Gilgit-Baltistan region, according to state broadcaster PTV.
The climbers, who were facing difficulties due to high-altitude sickness, were in urgent need of assistance.
Upon receiving the distress call, the Pakistan Army swiftly deployed a helicopter to the site and safely evacuated all the climbers.
The rescued climbers expressed their gratitude to the Pakistan Army for their prompt and effective response.
