Multiple media reports, citing rescue officials, have indicated that a tenth boy has been removed from the Tham Luang Nang Non cave.
A team of 19 divers had earlier entered the flooded Thai cave to attempt to retrieve the final four members of the soccer team and their coach who have been trapped underground for more than two weeks.
Sunday’s mission, the second rescue, was completed in less than 10 hours and resulted in four boys being removed from the complex cave network.
The mission mirrored Saturday’s successful attempt to rescue the first group of four but reduced the task by some two hours.
“The first day we spent 11 hours, yesterday we spent nine hours, [today] we hope we can do it faster or the same as yesterday.
” If everything goes right, we will see four kids and a doctor and Seals that have stayed with the kids will all come out,” head of the joint command center, Narongsak Osatanakorn, said.
“Four plus one coach, so it’s five.”
The rescue parties hope to also extract a doctor as well as multiple SEALs who had been monitoring the members of the soccer team.
