Immediately after the incident, Vung Ang ward quickly dispatched forces to the scene, put up warning signs, remotely regulated traffic, and mobilized excavators to clear the route.

According to Mr. Ho Sy Hung, Vice Chairman of Vung Ang Ward People's Committee, after 2 hours of mobilizing all local forces including Border Guards, local authorities, human resources and machinery of Lao - Viet International Port Joint Stock Company to make efforts to overcome the situation, the landslide area has been cleared and vehicles can circulate.

"However, some other nearby locations have cracks, with the risk of further landslides as the rain continues to worsen," said Mr. Ho Sy Hung.

Previously, on November 1, about 500m from this area, a landslide also occurred, causing nearly 100m3 of rock, soil, and trees to bury the road connecting Vung Ang Petroleum Joint Stock Company to Vung Ang squid raft area, causing traffic disruption.
