The web-article below has a detailed chronological account of the ongoing story in the news. I do not know how accurate it is.
http://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/news/live-updates-teenager-football-team-trapped-thai-cave/ It would nice if a caver could put together a similar article written for a caver audience ( as a PDF on the internet, or better as a wiki-article with links ). I am 100% certain there will be a fancy documentary in 2019. I believe this image shows a pipe that was connected to a electrical pump ( similar to a sewer lift pump ), and that this pipe was inserted near the first sump of the cave https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/180701071717-03-thailand-cave-missing-search-0701-super-tease.jpg Looking into a passage where the boys will have to use to escape https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/files/2018/06/919f032d216d570b0cce327240bb06a079b59c52.jpg Thai soldiers are using 4 inch diameter bamboo poles to form a dam on the creeks, and the dam is reinforced with 100 pound rocks and sand-bags. That looks like a good idea, but the dam is only 2 feet tall, and there is no way of knowing if the dammed up water would seep underground. Right ? ( I have not found a picture yet, but it is on Thai news channels ). Imagine being in the cave when the dam breaks.
