Rescuers are working to reach seven people who have been trapped in a cave in central Laos since last week, according to reports.
The individuals, described as villagers, were searching for gold in the cave when flash flooding blocked their way out. The seven people have been unable to exit the cave due to the floodwaters.
The rescue effort includes Thai experts who previously aided in the recovery of a youth soccer team from a flooded cave. Those experts have been brought in to assist with the ongoing operation in Laos.
Rescuers are racing against time to reach the trapped individuals. The operation remains ongoing as authorities work to safely extract the seven villagers from the cave.
No further details about the condition of those trapped or the expected timeline for rescue were immediately available in the reported accounts.
