Overview
- Authorities confirm the deaths of Alessandro Caputo and Stefano Farronato on Panbari after heavy snow, and Paolo Cocco on Yalung Ri following an avalanche.
- Two Italians, Marco Di Marcello and Markus Kirchler, remain missing on Yalung Ri and are the focus of recovery efforts in high, unstable terrain.
- An Italian AviaMEA–EVK2CNR team is deploying from Kathmandu toward Yalung Ri, led by pilot Manuel Munari with alpinist Michele Cucchi, in coordination with the Farnesina and consular staff.
- The five Italians from the Como area previously listed as irreperibili reestablished contact, reported they are well, and plan to return to Kathmandu on November 8.
- Officials and veteran alpinists link the incidents to an out‑of‑season storm tied to cyclone Montha, with rescue work hindered by severe weather, scarce landing zones, and fragmented private authorization processes.
