2018 Thailand cave rescue

Rescuers in Laos are searching for an alternative route to reach two missing individuals trapped in a flooded cave after heavy rainfall blocked the main entrance. Five of the seven initially trapped people have been rescued, with international teams from Thailand, Malaysia, and other countries working to lower water levels and locate a dry passage.

Four villagers trapped in a flooded cave in Laos for 10 days were successfully rescued, while two remain missing. International rescue teams, including those from Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, and others, assisted in the operation, which involved divers delivering supplies and evacuating survivors.

Five villagers trapped in a flooded cave in Xaisomboun province, Laos, for over a week were found alive by rescuers, though two remain missing. The cave flooding occurred after heavy rains, and international rescue teams, including divers from Thailand's 2018 cave rescue operation, are assisting in the effort.
