Thailand cave rescue: first two boys brought out, local official tells Reuters – live
Governor says 'today is the peak of our readiness' as 18 divers enter cave in an attempt to bring the trapped boys out
- First two boys have been rescued, local officials tell Reuters
- Contradictory reports circulate regarding emergence of two trapped boys
- Governor: 'It is unknown how long it will take before the team can bring out the first batch of boys'
- Boys to be split into four groups - reports
- Divers expected to be preparing the first boy for the journey out
- How the morning unfolded – in pictures
- What we know so far
A reporter at the scene has apparently been told by rescue teams at the entrance of the cave that the lowered water levels have shortened the journey out of the cave.
Many chambers are reportedly walk-able now, which would go some way to corroborating the Reuters report.
Further rain, however, is forecast later today.
A helicopter has apparently taken off from the vicinity of the cave complex.
