While rescue forces had not yet reached them, the 4 remaining individuals in the cave in Laos managed to self-rescue this afternoon.

Divers located 5 individuals stranded in a Laos cave, but extracting them through flooded, muddy, and oxygen-depleted passages presents a major challenge.

Divers navigate narrow, waterlogged passages in the operation to rescue 7 people trapped for a week in a cave in Xaisomboun province.

Located in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Cha Ngheo cave is considered rare for its vertical shaft, measuring 583 m long, 751 m high, and featuring a 350 m waterfall.

A joint British-Vietnamese cave expedition and the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park Management Board recently announced the discovery of 26 new caves.
