Citing CNN Indonesia, one person was rescued the\nprevious day, while two others remain missing. \u201cFive people have now\nbeen extracted, with two still missing,\u201d according to a Facebook post by\nthe Thai Rescue Divers, as reported by CNN Indonesia on Saturday (30 May\n2026). Seven Laotian citizens entered a cave in Xaisomboun Province to\nsearch for gold, but their exit was blocked by flooding, trapping them\nfor over a week. Rescue footage from Friday (29 May 2026) showed\nrescuers guiding a muddy, headlamp-wearing man out of the narrow cave\nentrance. Rescuers said it took around 37 minutes to move them through\nthe passages to safety. According to Thai cave diver Kengkard\nBongkawong, the survivors\u2019 health deteriorated while waiting for rescue.\n\u201cThis rescue operation was extremely challenging, requiring them to be\nmoved through narrow passages spanning hundreds of metres and involving\nunderwater diving,\u201d he said. Volunteer teams from several countries,\nincluding Thailand, France, Indonesia, Japan, and Australia, are\ninvolved in the rescue effort. Authorities are still searching for the\ntwo remaining trapped individuals.<\/p>",
