Vietnam People’s Army team continues search for earthquake victims in Myanmar

Another team was also formed to cooperate with rescue forces from Myanmar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in carrying out the search. By the evening of the same day, the delegation had retrieved three more victims' bodies from the rubble.

Earlier in the morning, rescue teams discovered and recovered two bodies. Around 3p.m., by using service dogs and imaging equipment, the rescue teams located another body in the Ottara Thiri Hospital and quickly began digging through the debris to reach the deceased. By evening, they successfully retrieved the body.

Additionally, the rescue forces of the Vietnam People's Army handed over six locations, identified by service dogs, where victims were suspected to be buried under the rubble, to the rescue teams from Myanmar and UAE.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese medical team continued to provide free health check-ups, treatment, and medicines for 62 local people outside the Ottara Thiri Hospital.

Since they were deployed to conduct rescue operations in Naypyidaw, the forces of the Vietnam People's Army have successfully rescued one victim and recovered 18 bodies from collapsed buildings.
