A rescue operation by land and air is underway in Annapurna in the Himalayas. Two people have gone missing and an avalanche is blocking the route by which they should have descended.
The Bulgarian climber Gospodin Dinev postponed his attempt to scale the peak over a luggage incident, which in practice saved his life. Dinev had to descend, after having reached 6,400 m.
