Five Pakistani porters have drowned while taking an Italian group on an expedition to climb K-2, the world's second-highest mountain.
They were caught in a swift-moving stream while carrying luggage for the Italian team. Police haven't been able to find the bodies.
The Italians are part of two teams marking the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of K-2. They're emulating two countrymen who became the first to reach the top.
The Italians are continuing on the trip.
