Five villagers were trapped in a flooded cave in Laos. The first survivor was rescued on Friday. According to SCMP, one additional villager was freed overnight before Saturday afternoon. Four more villagers were rescued on Saturday afternoon, thin and muddied, and were wrapped in foil blankets to regulate body temperature. According to France24, rescuers found the five villagers on Wednesday and two other people are still missing. According to Bluesky, the villagers had reportedly entered the cave to look for valuable minerals before being trapped by flash flooding. The rescue operation lasted 10 days and was complicated by the risk of fresh rains.
