Skardu: The Pakistan Army successfully rescued three foreign mountaineers who got stranded while attempting to climb K2, the world's second-highest peak.
The climbers, from the Netherlands, Singapore, and Ecuador, aimed to conquer K2, known for its treacherous conditions and high fatality rate among the world's tallest mountains.
