The bodies of Nirmal Purja and three climbers were brought to Broad Peak base camp after a hazardous recovery mission. The operation underscores the extreme risks of high-altitude rescues as teams still try to reach others stranded above.

The club said the 43-year-old's body was found at an altitude of around 5,700 metres. So far, five bodies have been recovered, while efforts are continuing to locate the remaining five climbers.
