Naval Special Forces just announced they have found the missing 12 boys and their football coach after a desperate nine-day search in Thailand.

The Governor, Narongsak Osottanakorn confirmed the news.

Now the challenge is to bring the party safely out of the caves as water rises and mud continues to block access to the young football team.

The governor said they would continue to drain water out of the cave while sending doctors and nurses to dive into the cave to check the health of the boys and their coach.

“If the doctors say their physical condition is strong enough to be moved, they will take them out from the cave,” he said.

Millions around the world followed this story and breathed a collective sigh of relief.
