Four villagers freed from flooded cave after being trapped for 10 days in Laos

Rescue workers in Laos said they have safely evacuated four remaining villagers trapped in a flooded cave for 10 days, a day after another one was successfully extracted.Laos and Thai rescue groups posted about the successful operation on social media, along with photos of the men lying on stretchers, wearing oxygen masks and being wrapped in foil blankets. The villagers had reportedly entered the cave last week to look for valuable minerals before being trapped by flash flooding that blocked their way out.
