Hundreds of trekkers have been rescued from a blizzard near Mount Everest's eastern face in Tibet, with approximately 350 reaching Qudang township and contact established with over 200 more individuals. The rescues occurred following heavy snow and rain that impacted the Himalayas. The operation successfully extricated a large group of stranded trekkers after adverse weather conditions took hold. According to an X post by @volcaholic1, the affected area experienced significant snowfall and rainfall, trapping numerous individuals. This development comes amid previous reports concerning geopolitical statements made by President Donald Trump regarding the India-Pakistan conflict and an arrest related to a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir. The blizzard rescue operation in Tibet represents a separate, unfolding event.
