Navy SEAL commander Rear Admiral Arpakorn Yookongkaew assured the safe return of the 13 Tham Luang cave survivors to their families, despite the ongoing complex rescue.
The primary strategy focuses on continuously draining water from the cave to lower levels, aiming to facilitate the survivors' evacuation towards the main entrance.
Survivors are reported to be in good health, receiving care from SEAL members, including medical personnel, high-energy food, and purified air, with a telephone line being installed for family contact.
Extensive efforts have already removed over 130 million liters of water since June 30, with operations intensified to clear the path for their eventual exit.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
