Four people, including two children, remain stranded in a cable car at an altitude of more than 300 meters in a remote mountainous area in northwest Pakistan.
According to the AFP news agency, the children were using the cable car to cross a valley to get to school when a cable broke.
“The cable car is suspended from a single rope. Inside there are at least eight occupants, mostly schoolchildren,” Abdul Basit Khan, a senior official with the rescue agency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, told AFP.
Six children and two adults were using the cable car when a cable snapped mid-ride in a remote and mountainous part of northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
