The Indian Army on Thursday (September 04, 2025) carried out a rapid rescue operation to evacuate two South Koreans trapped at an altitude of 17,000 feet at the Kongamrula Pass in Ladakh. The rescue team rescued him with the help of a helicopter.
The Army’s Fire and Fury Kor said that on September 4, the order of the Casual Evaculation Mission came at around 8.10 pm. After this, within 15 minutes, the helicopters were engaged in the work of reaching the right height place.
Army airlifted foreign nationals
He further stated that the helicopter successfully landed on the top at around 9:15 pm, where the rescue team airlifted the trapped foreign nationals and was handed over to the medical officers in view of their health.
According to the army, this campaign done on time shows the readiness and response ability of the security forces deployed in the area. It has proved that the Indian Army is not only for facing enemies on the border, but also the protector of humanity.
No helipad at the site of the incident
This operation was very difficult due to night time. At the same time, the challenges had increased further, as this inaccessible area is situated at an altitude of 17,000 feet. There are dangerous peaks covered with snow all around and flight operations become extremely difficult due to irregular weather.
Night Vision Flight and Landing made the mission difficult. Not only this, where foreign nationals were trapped, there was no ready helipad. Despite this, the army took fast action without losing time. Army pilots had to make accurate landing with the help of night vision goggles, which required extraordinary flight skills and deep understanding of circumstances.
