Pakistani special forces were attempting to rescue eight people, including six children, who were stranded in a broken cable on Tuesday.
Ednews informs via DTB that the cable car was dangling from a single cable 900 feet (274 meters) over a ravine in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The incident happened as the children were on their way to school in a mountainous area in Battagram, about 124 miles (200 kilometers) north of Islamabad.
"One child has fainted due to heat and fear," said Shariq Riaz Khattak, a rescue official on the scene.
Pakistan's caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar ordered authorities to utilize all resources to complete the rescue operation as soon as possible.
