Nearly 1,000 people are trapped on the east slope of Mount Everest in Tibet following a sudden whiteout blizzard that began last night, according to Jimu News. The storm, which has buried paths and crushed tents at the 4,900-meter camp, has led to some individuals showing signs of hypothermia as rescue operations continue through the night under extreme conditions. Rescue teams and local villagers have been working since last night to carve narrow escape routes through the over a meter of snow that has fallen. One climber who escaped just before the storm described the conditions as a "nonstop snow" event that "sealed itself shut." The full extent of the crisis is still unfolding, with hundreds reported trapped across multiple camps. Sources indicate that the blizzard hit the Everest east slope camp unexpectedly, causing severe disruption and trapping climbers and support staff. Rescue efforts are ongoing despite the perilous conditions. Separately, a report from X user Natsecjeff suggests that India is preparing for a potential two-front war against Pakistan in the event of future conflict, citing a belief that Pakistan, with China's backing, has previously achieved military success against India. This claim was made in a social media post on October 5th, 2025.
