Team K51’s search and collection of martyrs’ remains in Cambodia checked
PANO - On June 1, a delegation of the Standing Agency of the Vietnamese Government’s Special Committee, led by Senior Colonel Tran Quang Thanh, Deputy Director of the Department of Policy and Social Affairs under the General Department of Political Affairs, inspected Team K51’s mission to search for and collect the remains of fallen Vietnamese soldiers during the 2025-2026 dry season in Cambodia.
According to the team’s report, in the 2025-2026 dry season, the unit has found and gathered the remains of 27 fallen soldiers. Throughout the mission, officers, personnel, and soldiers have maintained a strong spirit of unity, overcome challenges, and strictly complied with Vietnamese laws, military discipline, and international regulations. At present, information regarding fallen soldiers’ burial sites in Mondulkiri province is becoming increasingly scarce, while many remaining sites are scattered across remote and inaccessible areas, making search operations particularly difficult.
