Laos: Rescuers race to reach 7 trapped in flooded cave
Seven Laotian villagers became trapped in a flooded cave in Xaisomboun province on May 19, 2026, after heavy rain triggered flash floods while they were searching for gold inside the cave. Approximately 100 rescuers, including specialists who assisted in the 2018 Thai Wild Boars youth soccer team cave rescue, are working to access the group, with divers currently navigating submerged cave passages and additional specialized equipment being requested to support the effort.
