Four more Thai cave boys rescued as authorities up the rescue pace

The tally over survivors is now at eight, with hopes that the last of the trapped youths will be extracted in a swift manner on Tuesday

Four more of the 'Wild Boars' that had been trapped in a cave in Thailand have been rescued, with head of rescue operations Narongsak Osotthanakorn now hopeful that the final five will be pulled to safety on Tuesday.

Twelve youths in total - ranging between the ages of 11 to 16 - had been trapped for over two weeks along with their coach, the soccer academy players having found themselves stuck after a sudden downpour prevented them from exiting the caves.
