The five students were the first group of a 15-member expedition. They lost contact with the base camp and other groupsever since August 7, Wang Tiemin, vice president of the CMA, told Xinhua on Tuesday.

But Wang Tiemin didn't give the names of the five missing students.

Wang said the CMA had immediately sent rescue teams to Mount Shisha Pagma when it got the report.
