Heavy rains threaten to delay search for 2 people still missing in Laos cave

Heavy rains have filled the cave to the second chamber, and a broken pump is slowing efforts to reach the two missing villagers, rescuers said.

  • Seven villagers entered a cave in Laos to look for valuable minerals before being trapped by a flash flood that blocked their way out.
  • Rescue teams from multiple countries have been working to find the two missing people, with divers navigating over 200 meters into the cave system and finding five chambers.
  • Five of the villagers have been rescued from the fifth chamber, but the remaining two are believed to be in a potential sixth chamber that is extremely narrow and difficult to access.
