Summary
In a dramatic rescue unfolding in Laos, four villagers trapped inside a flooded cave for ten days have been safely pulled out — bringing the total rescued to five. The ordeal began last week when the group, searching for minerals, was cut off by a flash flood. One survivor escaped early to alert authorities. With water levels dropping, divers were able to deliver supplies and eventually extract the remaining four, some collapsing from exhaustion as they emerged. Two others are still missing. Notably, some of the rescued had previously participated in the 2018 Thai cave rescue — now, all eyes turn to finding the last two.
