Five of the seven Laotian villagers who entered a cave in central Laos searching for gold and became trapped by flash flooding after heavy rain have been confirmed safe and healthy by Thai rescuers. Rescue teams continue the search for the remaining two missing men, noting that the survivors were hungry and dehydrated but otherwise unharmed.

    1. At 4:30 pm, we found our target. We found five people. We are looking for the other two.
    2. We've found 5 people alive and all safe. There are still 2 people we are searching for.

    1. Health checks and first aid were administered at the scene.
    2. When inside the mine you have to navigate hundreds of meters of constant restrictions, flood waters, collapse hazards and high risk of contaminated air quality.

    1. We are afraid that the water will flood into the cave so we needed to urgently retreat. We did our best.

    1. This is only a brief relief as the five survivors are still in the terminal chamber, all healthy and in good spirits, but the extraction is still ahead and it ain't going to be easy.
    2. We are still in high spirits that we will find the miners alive as they entered the mine with resources to stay sub-terrain for several days.
    3. We are racing against time as today marks the 7th day and the way in is full of challenges.
    4. If all the possible safety matters can be met today, we are considering a final search dive into the last chamber to locate the lost 7.
