At least seven climbers, including five foreigners and two Nepalis, were killed after an avalanche struck Nepal’s Yalung Ri mountain in Dolakha district. The group was climbing near the base camp when the avalanche hit on Monday morning. Eight people were rescued and taken to Kathmandu for treatment, while five bodies are still buried under deep snow. Poor weather has slowed rescue efforts. Those killed include climbers from Italy, Canada, Germany, and France. The team was training for a climb to Dolma Khang peak. Autumn is a busy season for mountaineering in Nepal but also risky for avalanches. (PC: BBC)
