Nasib: Pendaki Pun Tak Lepas Dari Bahaya Peluru!

Russian may be among mountain-climbers killed in terror attack in Pakistan - FM
The Russian Foreign Ministry does not rule out that a Russian citizen was killed in an attack of armed extremists on a camp of mountain-climbers in north Pakistan.

"On the night of June 22 a group of armed men attacked a camp of mountain-climbers at the foot of Mount Nanga Parbat in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Ten foreigners were killed. Early reports say that there could have been a Russian citizen among the killed," a Sunday posting on the ministry website says.
"The Russian embassy in Islamabad in close contact with the Pakistani authorities is checking the reports and looking into all the circumstances of the incident," the posting says.
A tourist from Russia died in a militant attack on a hotel in Kashmir, Pakistan, press secretary of the Russian Federal Agency for Tourism (Rostourism) Irina Shchegolkova said.
"We are now waiting for the details from the Russian consulate in Pakistan but we already know that there was one Russian citizen among the killed," she said.
"As the hotel was in the foothills, it is most likely that the foreigners staying there were mountain-climbers who had come for an ascent," she said.
Pakistani militants have claimed responsibility for today’s shooting in the country’s northern Kashmir province that allegedly killed at least nine foreign tourists, a Russian news agency reports.
A spokesperson of the Jundullah militant group also vowed to go on with attacks against foreign nationals.
“These foreigners are our enemies and we proudly claim responsibility for killing them and will continue such attacks in the future as well," Jundullah’s spokesman Ahmed Marwat said.
The bodies of the shooting victims will be flown from the remote region on the China-Kashmir border by a helicopter.
Russian diplomats in Pakistan have no confirmation so far of reports that there were Russian citizens among the tourists shot dead in a hotel in north Kashmir, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Islamabad told Interfax on the phone.
"We are checking the newspaper reports. Consular workers are clarifying the circumstances of the incident," he said.
Gunmen stormed a hotel in a remote part of northern Pakistan on Sunday and killed nine foreign tourists and a Pakistani guide, police and security officials said.
Five Ukrainians, three Chinese a Russian and their guide were killed in the attack in a remote resort area near the base camp for the snow-covered Nanga Parbat mountain, a popular destination for adventurous trekkers, officials said.
"Unknown people entered a hotel where foreign tourists were staying last night and opened fire," Ali Sher, a senior police officer in Gilgit-Baltistan province, told Reuters.
Sher had earlier said 10 foreign tourists were killed, but officials revised the tally as fresh reports arrived from the area.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
