Efforts are continuing to locate the remaining eight missing mountaineers from a team of 10 caught in the incident.
The rescue operation, involving Pakistan Army helicopters and ground teams, remains underway in the high-altitude region. Sources said the process of confirming the identities of the two recovered mountaineers was still in progress.
In a separate rescue during the same mission, an Italian climber who fell ill while participating in the K2 expedition was airlifted safely by a Pakistan Army helicopter.
The ground search and rescue mission for the missing mountaineers was being led by Pakistani mountaineer Sarbaz Khan. Rescue teams continued to search difficult terrain in an effort to locate those still unaccounted for.
According to rescue officials, the missing group included climbers from the United States, China, Nepal, and Oman, as well as Pakistani mountaineer Sohail Sakhi. Search teams were working across multiple sections of the mountain where the avalanche was believed to have struck.
The operation was being carried out through a combination of aerial and ground efforts. Alongside Pakistan Army helicopter missions, civil rescue teams had been assisting in the search operation and supporting efforts on the ground.
The accident occurred a day earlier when a team of mountaineers attempting to ascend Broad Peak was suddenly hit by an avalanche. The mountain, located in the Karakoram range of northern Pakistan, is one of the world’s highest peaks and attracts climbers from different countries each year.
Rescue officials said weather and terrain conditions remained a challenge, but search teams were continuing their efforts to locate the missing climbers.
