A South Korean rescue team searching for missing trekkers in Nepal with their drone technology said on Friday that they had temporarily suspended the search operation due to adverse weather conditions.
Officials say rescuers began digging through several feet of snow at two mountainside locations in Nepal where four South Korean trekkers and three Nepali guides are thought to be trapped.
Member of KT Drone Rescue Team, Kim Yong-soo who pulled out their team from the avalanche area said that he did not know when the search operation at the scene could be resumed but they were continuously making a search plan with local rescue team.
The hikers have been missing since Friday after being swept away by an avalanche during a trek in the region of Mount Annapurna, the world’s tenth highest mountain.
