Welcome to our live coverage of a rescue operation in northern Pakistan, where six children and two adults are trapped in a cable car suspended hundreds of metres above a ravine in Battagram, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The eight passengers were on their way to school when some of the cables snapped earlier this morning, leaving the vehicle dangling from a single cable.

Rescue operations are under way and army helicopters are at the scene.
