Avalanche hits Nepal's Manang, 4 dead and 12 missing; rescue teams search for survivors

An avalanche at the base camp of Mount Himlung in Nepal's Manang district has killed at least four people and left 12 missing, with rescue teams searching through heavy snow on Monday, according to the Nepal National Mountain Guide Association and officials.

Eight experienced mountain guides from the association resumed the search after weather conditions improved, digging through snow that buried tents at the 7,126-metre (23,380-foot) peak in north-central Nepal. Ten people were rescued after the avalanche struck on Sunday.
