Indian officials begin mission to retrieve bodies of missing climbers in the Himalayas

Ten Indian officials have started a risky mission to retrieve the bodies of five climbers discovered days after they went missing in the Himalayas.

Four Britons, two Americans, an Australian and an Indian made up the missing climbers, who had been attempting India’s second-highest peak.

Officials said the operation was “very risky” due to harsh weather, adding success would be a “miracle”.
