The group of missing schoolchildren has been spotted from a helicopter, Brecon Mountain Rescue have said.

Mountain rescue volunteers are making their way to the site on foot as the helicopter is unable to land, they said.

A spokesman said: "I can confirm that three South Wales mountain rescue teams have been called to search for a group of 20 missing school children in the Dan yr Ogof area.

"A recent update from incident control has advised that the MCGA rescue helicopter from St Athan has spotted the group and is unable to land but that mountain rescue volunteers are making their way to the site on foot."
