The rescue operation of the 12 boys trapped in a cave in Thailand and their football coach began. "I can confirm that we are ready to act today," said Provincial Governor Narongsak Osotthanakorn. "It's nice, the water level is good, the divers are ready, the boys are ready physically, mentally and mentally to get out."

During the operation, each boy must be accompanied by two divers, says the governor, who also directs the action. "Today is the day X". The boys must be out little by little. Experts expect the mission, which began at 10:00 am local time (5:00 am CEST), ends Sunday evening at 21:00 (16:00 CEST). However, other members of the rescue team said the operation could last between three and four days.
Boys aged 11 to 16 and their 25-year-old football coach have been in the flooded cave of the province since June 23. Chiang Rai included. They are stuck in a dry place about four kilometers inside the cave. Lack of oxygen and bad weather have increased the pressure on the rescuers. In the coming days there will still be heavy rain. As for the group, the oxygen content in the air dropped from 21% to 15%.
On Sunday, divers and paramedics arrived at the cave. In addition, the temporary media camp near the entrance to the cave was cleaned up with more than 1,000 Thai and foreign journalists. New incoming journalists were denied access. They were sent to a government building with the announcement that later a press conference would follow.
The site was necessary for the rescue operation, police said. "From the badessment of the situation, we need the area to help the victims," he says.
The rescue operation is extremely dangerous: A diver died a few days ago in combat. Even professional divers needed five to six hours to get from the group to the exit. In addition, some boys are not good swimmers.
