Seven people entered a cave system on Wednesday in search of gold, among other things - but due to bad weather and a landslide, they became trapped. Now the water level in the cave system is reportedly rising.

Several experts who were involved in the dramatic rescue of a team of teenage soccer players trapped deep inside a Thai cave in 2018 are reportedly assisting with the current rescue effort.

The cave system is described as narrow and deep. Divers, among others, are participating in the rescue.
