Rescue teams in Laos successfully freed four more miners trapped for 10 days inside a flooded cave, bringing the total number of rescued survivors to five. The men had entered the cave in search of gold ore before heavy rains triggered flash floods, blocking their escape routes. International rescue teams, including experienced cave divers from several countries, navigated narrow, mud-filled tunnels with almost no visibility to reach them. Two people remain missing as search operations continue deeper into the flooded cave system. Rescuers described the mission as extremely dangerous due to unstable walls, strong currents, and confined underwater passages.
