An avalanche has struck the Himlung Himal base camp in Nepal after days of severe weather in the remote mountain region, according to reports.
Two mountain guides have been confirmed dead in the incident, while at least 14 other people remain missing as search efforts continue in the area.
The base camp sits in a remote part of the Himalayas, and severe weather conditions in the days leading up to the avalanche are believed to have contributed to the danger on the mountain.
Rescue teams are working to reach the area and account for those still unaccounted for, though the remote location and ongoing weather conditions may complicate efforts.
