2 trapped workers rescued alive from a tunnel in Nepal, officials say

- Medical personnel at the site immediately provided emergency care to both survivors before transferring them to medical facilities for further observation.
- Defense officials report that specialized search teams are continuing efforts in surrounding tunnels where hundreds of missing workers remain unaccounted for.
