TL;DR

In Slovenia, five individuals, including a family of three and two guides, are trapped in the Krizna Jama cave due to rising water levels from heavy rainfall. Rescue teams have reached them, providing a heated shelter in a safe area within the cave, where they must wait for the water to recede. The group is reported to be fine, and a large-scale rescue operation is underway, with expectations that water levels will begin to fall soon, although it may take days for the exit to become safe. Krizna Jama is renowned for its biodiversity, being the fourth largest underground ecosystem in the world.
