No Italians have been killed by an
avalanche in Pakistan, rescue sources said Monday.
The one victim is one of the three Pakistani climbers on the
expedition together with four Italians, they said.
The expedition was in the Shimshal Valley when the avalanche
struck, they said.
Some of the six survivors have been injured, however.
They reportedly include expedition head Tarcisio Bellò, who
has suffered bone fractures, the sources said.
A Pakistani army helicopter is set to get to the scene on
Tuesday.
