Colonel Phan Van Thi, Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff of the Da Nang City Border Guard, said that the search force has narrowed down the area where the bodies of the two victims are suspected to be located, and is expanding the search along the currents and alluvial soil and rocks created by the landslide.

“According to the forecast, from now until November 25, there may continue to be rain, so while the ground is still dry and there is less mud, the unit will mobilize maximum force to search for the remaining missing victims,” Colonel Phan Van Thi emphasized.
