Cave divers in Thailand have resumed the high-risk operation to extract the remaining eight boys and their football coach from a vast flooded cave system, reports say, according to BBC.
Four boys were brought safely out of the cave on Sunday.
But the mission was paused overnight for air tanks to be replaced.
The boys became trapped in the cave on 23 June after heavy rains caused flooding, but were found alive last week by divers.
Rescuers decided to go ahead with the hazardous operation to free them because of fears that waters would rise again.
Sources with knowledge of the operation said it had resumed, with divers re-entering the cave between 10:00 and 11:00 local time (03:00 and 04:00 GMT).
The operation is going ahead amid concerns that heavy rain on Sunday and overnight may have raised water levels making the rescue more difficult.
