The dramatic rescue marks the end of a more than two-week ordeal which began when the “Wild Boars” team and their coach became trapped inside the flooded Tham Luang cave on the border with Myanmar on June 23.

"We've rescued everyone. We've succeeded," rescue mission chief Narongsak Osotthanakorn told reporters.

Four Thai Navy Seals and a Thai doctor were the last people to emerge from the cave.
