Four men who were trapped inside a flooded cave in Laos for 10 days have been freed, Thai rescuers say.

They are among seven villagers who entered the narrow tunnels in search for gold but were cut off inside the cave in the remote mountain area of central Xaysomboun province after flash floods hit on 20 May.

Only five were found alive by rescuers on Wednesday. Two men are still missing.
