According to the Internal Affairs Department of Osh region, the deceased are 43-year-old Belarusian citizen Maxim Polyansky and 37-year-old Lithuanian citizen Sergei Rubtsov.

Their bodies are currently at a morgue in Osh and are expected to be transported to their home countries.

The third member of the group, 60-year-old Belarusian national Nikolai Sviridov, has not yet been found.

Belarusian citizens Maxim Polyansky, 43, and Nikolai Sviridov, 60, along with Sergei Rubtsov, 37, from Lithuania, successfully summited Korumdy Peak on August 2. The group was scheduled to begin descending to the base camp on August 4, but failed to make contact at the appointed time. The Ministry of Emergency Situations and volunteers launched a search operation. However, adverse weather conditions have made the search more difficult, while valuable time is being lost. Heavy snowfall and poor visibility have been reported in the search area.

Korumdu Peak is located east of Lenin Peak. It is a mountain summit in the Chon-Alai Range on the border of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and China. The mountain massif is characterized by narrow ridges, sharp rocky peaks and glaciers descending along steep slopes.

Before 2001, expeditions from several countries made repeated attempts to climb the peak but were unsuccessful. The first confirmed ascent was made by a Kyrgyz team led by Alexander Gubaev on October 12, 2001. The route followed the northern ridge at an altitude of 6,096 meters.

Climbing Korumdu Peak is considered an extremely difficult mountaineering route.
