Thai authorities say rescuers are inching closer to reaching 12 boys and their adult soccer coach who have been trapped inside a cave in northern Thailand with no contact for more than a week. Narongsak Osottanakorn, the governor of Chiang Rai province where the Tham Luang Cave is located, told reporters Sunday that Thai Navy SEALs are closing in on a chamber where it is hoped the missing people have found refuge. Divers have been trying to reach them for eight days since the boys, members of a soccer team between the ages of 11 and 16, and their 25-year-old assistant coach were trapped inside the complex on June 23 after sudden rains flooded their exit. Narongsak said “a full plan is ready” for their evacuation and transfer to a nearby hospital once they are removed from the cave.
