Army rescues Russian and Pakistani climbers

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.
