- Officials are concerned about the oxygen levels in the cave where a Thai soccer team has been trapped for 13 days.
- A Thai navy SEAL commander told reporters he believes there is “a limited amount of time” left to rescue the 12 boys and their soccer coach as oxygen levels dropped to 15%.
- Officials are now working to supply the boys with oxygen through a 3 mile (5 kilometer) cable running through the cave's winding chambers.
- On Thursday, a former Navy SEAL diver assisting with the rescue mission died from a lack of oxygen.
- The plan is to have the boys swim out of the cave with divers, although impending monsoon rains may cause flooding in the cave and could trap the boys for some time.
