    Hopes dimmed for two climbers from Britain and Italy who went missing in northern Pakistan on a peak known as "killer mountain" as helicopters failed to spot signs of the mountaineers Monday, an army aviation official said.

    Climbers Tom Ballard, from Derbyshire, and Daniele Nardi and were last heard from on 24 February as they climbed the Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth-highest peak. They were attempting a route that has never before been successfully completed.

    Two helicopters flew a Spanish climbing team to Nanga Parbat on Monday afternoon to look for the missing climbers, according to a top army aviation official.

    He said the helicopters carried out an aerial search with the help of Pakistani mountaineer Rehmatullah Baig - who was climbing with the missing men before turning back - but could not find anything.

    "The helicopters flew for more than 30 minutes in the targeted area but there was no sign of life," the official said, requesting anonymity.

    Baig told AFP the Spanish team would begin a search with drones on Tuesday.
