搜救队周三从巴基斯坦宽峰山成功打捞了著名英尼登山家尼尔玛尔·普尔贾以及其他三名登山者的遗体[1]。此次打捞行动回收了中国登山者钟望、尼泊尔登山者尼玛·夏尔巴和基鲁·夏尔巴的遗体[1]。这次回收任务被认为是该山历来技术难度最高的遗体打捞之一[1]。
此前已于8月1日打捞了三具遗体，本次打捞使已找到的遗体总数达到七具[1]。这场悲剧源于上周四发生的雪崩，该雪崩席卷了一支国际登山队的十名成员[1]。失难登山队成员来自尼泊尔、阿曼、巴基斯坦、中国、英国和美国[1]。
巴基斯坦外交部长伊沙克·达尔对此表示深感悲痛，并表示巴基斯坦将继续与尼泊尔、阿曼、英国和美国大使馆协调搜救工作[1]。巴基斯坦高山俱乐部称这是该国最致命的登山灾难之一[1]。
Rescue teams successfully recovered the body of renowned mountaineer Nirmal Purja along with three other climbers from Broad Peak in Pakistan on Wednesday [1]. The operation represents one of the most technically challenging body recovery missions ever conducted on the mountain [1]. The four recovered bodies were identified as Purja, Chinese climber Zhong Wang, Nepalese mountaineers Nima Sherpa and Kiru Sherpa [1]. This recovery follows an earlier operation on August 1st that had retrieved three additional bodies, bringing the total number of recovered victims to seven [1].
The climbers died in an avalanche that struck the international expedition team nearly a week prior [1]. The 10-member team that was caught in the avalanche comprised climbers from Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States [1]. Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy and stated that Pakistan would continue coordinating rescue and recovery efforts with the embassies of Nepal, Oman, the United Kingdom, and the United States [1]. The Alpine Club of Pakistan has characterized the disaster as one of the country's deadliest mountaineering incidents [1].
