On June 22, 2013, about 16 militants, reportedly dressed in Gilgit Scouts uniforms, stormed a high-altitude mountaineering base camp in Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan, and killed 10 climbers and a local guide., Lithuania and Nepal. A Chinese citizen managed to escape the assailants, and a member of the group from Latvia happened to be outside the camp during the attack.The attack happened at the base camp on Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain in the world. The mountain is popular among trekkers and mountaineers from June to August because of the moderate weather conditions.

In November 2013, many of the assailants involved in the attack were arrested and tried under the Anti-Terrorist Act. According to the Senate's Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, the original motive of the militants had not been to kill the tourists, but kidnap them for ransom.
