“‘Waiting for four more Thai Navy SEALs (to come out of the cave) who have been accompanying the kids. Please send your support to them,’ says a post on their official Facebook site.

“Another post, confirming the rescue of all 13 stranded members of the team, said: ‘We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what…”
