Tuyen Quang: Twenty-two sets of remains of fallen soldiers found

Carefully recording all relevant information

With unwavering determination and deep gratitude for the soldiers who laid down their lives to protect Northern border, Team 515 recovered four sets of remains of martyrs along with their belongings in early June, 2025. In early July, they found two more sets in good condition, with relatively complete biological samples. In the first six months of 2025, a total of 22 sets of remains have been recovered. Since its establishment, the team has recovered 179 sets of remains and found one mass grave.

Team 515 of the Tuyen Quang provincial Military Command continues its dedicated mission to search for and recover the remains of fallen soldiers.

Colonel Tran Quang Huy, head of the team, said that the search and collection of the six sets of remains of fallen soldiers were conducted under extremely harsh weather and terrain conditions. However, thanks to the cooperation, guidance, and information provided by veterans of Vi Xuyen Front, those who directly fought alongside the fallen soldiers, the team successfully completed the work.

He added that because the remains were buried deep beneath rocky layers, their condition and biological samples are still well-preserved and complete, creating favorable conditions for DNA testing.

Offering incense in remembrance of the martyrs

The transportation of the remains down from the mountain was joined by local authorities, local residents, and fellow veterans who once fought alongside the fallen soldiers in the past.
