French climber among at least three killed in Himalayan avalanche

60-Second Summary

At least three climbers — a French national and two Nepalese — were killed when an avalanche struck near the Yalung Ri base camp in Nepal’s Dolakha district, police said. Four others — two Italians, a German and a Canadian — are feared dead as poor weather and logistics slow the search. Five Nepali guides made it back to base camp with non-critical injuries. A rescue helicopter reached Na Gaun, and teams reported seeing three bodies. In a separate incident, two Italians remain missing on Panbari, though a third climber, Velter Perlino, 65, was rescued.
