Divers rescue five people trapped in cave in Slovenia

A family of three and two guides were trapped in a cave in south-western Slovenia since Saturday after heavy rainfall cut off their exit.

Rescue teams said divers had reached the group and moved them to a safe spot made for such emergencies and set up a heated shelter where they would have to wait for water levels to drop. According to authorities, there are thirty five cave rescuers, eight divers, firefighters, and members of the civil protection force involved in the rescue operation.
