Rescuers in Nepal have pulled two hydro plant workers alive from an underground tunnel at a hydropower plant.
That's raising hopes of reaching dozens of others believed to be trapped there nine days after deadly floods swept away villages and submerged the Himalayan region in mud and debris.
The two men, identified as a mechanical foreman and a mechanical supervisor, were found in the tunnel at the Trishuli 3A construction site on Friday morning after rescuers heard their voices.
At the base camp, a Nepal military spokesman tells the AP the foreman's name is Sanjay Shah and his initial vital parameter is normal.
They're being flown to Kathmandu for further checks and treatment.
About 900 workers are missing from 12 hydropower projects in Nepal, with roughly 500 believed to be trapped in tunnels, according to authorities.
Meanwhile, displaced families seek shelter and essential supplies as thousands of survivors face an uncertain future with their homes destroyed.
President Trump is again appealing to the Supreme Court to allow his executive order restricting mail-in voting to go into effect as the midterm elections approach.

The appeal came hours after the administration was unable to tell that judge whether the computer system that would govern the entire project was operational yet.
The justices previously allowed the president's plan to move ahead, but they've not yet determined whether it's legal.
Meanwhile, the Missouri Supreme Court has blocked new congressional districts backed by President Trump from being used in November.
The Labor Department issued the report, which could be good news for President Trump two months before midterm elections in which the health of the economy is weighing on voters' minds, particularly high costs for goods and services.
