Turkiye cave rescue operation

Rescuers pulled American explorer Mark Dickey from a cave in the Taurus Mountains of Turkiye, more than a week after he fell ill while at a depth of more than 3,280 feet inside the cave.

The Turkish Caving Federation announced that the explorer was successfully removed from the last cave exit on Tuesday.

A number of emergency agencies, as well as specialist cave rescuers from Bulgaria, Hungary and Italy, were dispatched to the scene. A total of 150 rescuers were involved in the operation.
