Hunt on for entrances to flooded cave

Rescuers in northern Thailand have been scouring mountainside in the search for alternative entrances to a flooded cave where 12 boys and their soccer coach have been missing for five days.

Near-constant rains have stalled search efforts inside the cave by raising water levels and forcing elite navy Seal divers slowly making their way through the sprawling complex to pause.

Authorities have had to switch off power to water pumps due to electrical hazards as teams work to raise cables above floodwaters. A US military team and British cave experts have joined the search.
