JAKARTA - Three climbers, including a foreign national, were killed and eight others missing after landslides hit a climbing expedition on the Himalayan summit in Nepal.

Among those missing on Mount Yalung Ri Himal, which towered 5,630 meters (18,470 feet) in the Dolakha district in northeastern Kathmandu, there were five foreign nationals, police official Gyan Kumar Mahato told Reuters.

Citizenship of the death toll or missing foreign nationals is not yet known.

Four injured climbers were evacuated to nearby villages and the search for missing climbers, including by helicopter, is still ongoing.

"We have also sent a ground SAR team from the TNI and Polri and are waiting for (developments)," he said on Monday, November 3.

Yalung Ri is located in the Rolwaling Valley in northeastern Nepal and climbers there face a mixture of rocks, ice, and snow.
