The 12 boys – aged between 11 and 16 years old – are members of a youth soccer team and had gone inside the cave along with their 25-year-old coach.
Patisen indicated that parts of the passage inside the cave have been flooded by rains that hit the region and the water could have subsequently blocked their exit.
On Saturday afternoon, officers from the Tham Luang Khun Nam Nang Non Forest Park, where the cave is located, raised the alarm after finding the belongings of the group.
