An army SSG commando engages in a cable car rescue operation while being suspended from a helicopter in Battagram. Initially, an army helicopter was dispatched to expedite the rescue operation, followed by a second helicopter shortly afterwards. The helicopter rescue mission was complicated by gusty winds in the area. As it became dark, flood lights were installed and a ground-based rescue operation was continued more than 15 hours. Bilal Faizi, the spokesperson for the emergency service Rescue 1122 said that the rescue operation was completed.
