Renowned climber Nirmal Purja dies in Pakistan avalanche

Renowned Nepalese-British mountaineer Nirmal Purja and members of his climbing party have died in an avalanche on Pakistan's Broad Peak mountain, his expedition company Elite Expeditions confirmed on Saturday. Purja, 43, gained global prominence in 2019 after setting speed records for summiting the world's 14 highest peaks.

In diplomatic and security developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that a North Korean missile killed a family near Kryvyi Rih. The statement comes as reports indicate U.S. President Donald Trump has requested modifications to a proposed Russian sanctions package while questioning whether Ukraine should be permitted to manufacture Patriot missiles locally.

Meanwhile, international security and infrastructure events continue following Friday's temporary closure of Latvia's border with Belarus due to technical issues and a U.S. Marine Corps F-35B jet crash near San Diego.
