At least 9 people are dead and several others remain missing after an avalanche hit Mount Manaslu in Nepal.

The bodies of a German and a Nepalese guide, along with a Spanish national, have been sighted by rescue pilots. BBC News reported that at least 5 climbers – two of them French nationals – survived and have been rescued and flown to hospitals. The New York Times reported 10 survivors and 6 missing. The climbers were caught by the avalanche at the height of 7,000 meters, as they were headed toward the summit. Manaslu is 8,156 meters high. Officials are still trying to determine how many people took part in the climb.
