A search and rescue operation is underway for three Russian climbers on Gasherbrum IV in Pakistan following a catastrophic ice collapse that occurred during their expedition to recover the body of a fellow climber, Dmitry Golovchenko. Two climbers, Mikhail Mironov and Sergei Mironov, sustained serious injuries and were airlifted for medical treatment, while Sergei Nilov is currently missing. The incident struck unexpectedly, with no prior government warning about the adverse weather conditions, leading to a dangerous situation for the five-member team. Karrar Haidri from the Alpine Club of Pakistan characterized the event as devastating, as the region has a history of climbing accidents due to avalanches. The rescue operation will continue as weather permits, and experts express concerns over Nilov's survival chances. This incident adds to a troubling series of climbing accidents in the region, highlighting the risks associated with high-altitude expeditions.
