Rescue workers in Laos were searching for an alternative entrance to a flooded cave on Monday. Heavy rainfall had blocked the main entrance, leaving two suspected occupants trapped inside for almost two weeks.

    1. We still cannot confirm that the knocking sounds came from trapped victims. However, we can confirm that there were definite knocking sounds in response to the signals.

    1. The sounds appeared to come from just 5 meters away, raising hopes that the missing individuals may be nearby.

    1. We interviewed them about [what] the deeper part of the cave looks like. We will continue to search based on the information we have, and perhaps we will be able to get to the other two.
    2. We will go into the suspected area to continue the search if the water level is lowered.

    1. From what we know, there is a significant air pocket that is considerably further on – another 100 meters or so.
    2. We're not entirely sure what the next steps are.

    1. This was the only place that we haven't checked in the mine, where the two lost miners could still be.

    1. The area between the fifth and sixth chamber is extremely narrow, and no one has seen its shape yet. Furthermore, it's a narrow space, and of course, it's muddy water, so visibility is absolutely zero. I've also heard that the shape is such that you have to twist your body to get through.
    2. Now there's a theory that, through that small crack, it still continues, and there's a sixth chamber, which gives us hope now that, if we could penetrate that small restriction, we might be able to reach the sixth chamber and then see what is there.
