Desperate search for boys missing in cave complex in Thailand
MAE SAI, Thailand — Rising waters prevented divers from moving deeper into a cave complex in northern Thailand flooded by heavy rains, forcing them to suspend their search Monday for 12 boys and their soccer coach who have been missing for two days, but officials said they believe they’re still alive.
The boys, aged 11-15, are thought to have entered the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai province with their 25-year-old coach Saturday afternoon. A mother reported that her son did not return from soccer practice that day, setting off the search.
