The mission to save seven villagers trapped in a flooded cave in central Laos was not finished yet as rescuers still had to bring them out while ensuring adequate oxygen supply, the head of a Thai crew assisting with the operation said.
The villagers had entered the remote cave in Xaysomboun province on 19 May hunting for wildlife and gold. They were trapped after heavy rain triggered flash flooding and landslides, blocking the entrance to the cave.
