On the afternoon of June 20th, speaking with a reporter from Thanh Nien newspaper, a leader of the Ha Tinh Provincial Power Company stated that the unit is coordinating with the police to conduct a scene investigation of the incident where three workers were electrocuted while erecting a drilling rig for geological exploration under a 22 KV medium-voltage power line.
Authorities took three workers who suffered electric shocks to the hospital for emergency treatment.
According to initial information, at around 3 PM on the same day, a group of workers brought drilling rigs and geological drilling equipment to the middle of a rice field in Lien Phu village (Thach Trung commune, Ha Tinh city) to conduct geological exploration drilling.
About 30 minutes later, residents of Lien Phu village heard a loud explosion coming from the field where the group of workers were setting up the drilling rig. Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered a large fire beneath the 22 KV medium-voltage power line, next to which lay three men motionless in the field.
Suspecting this was an electrocution incident caused by a violation of safety distance, residents quickly reported it to the local authorities and relevant agencies.

However, one person died, and the other two suffered severe burns.
The leader of the Ha Tinh Provincial Power Company affirmed: "This group of workers was carrying out geological exploration drilling, but we don't know which unit hired them.

We are currently cooperating with the investigating agency to clarify the cause and determine the responsibility of those involved."
According to the leaders of the Ha Tinh Provincial Power Company, the medium-voltage power line where the electrical discharge occurred, electrocuting three workers, is under the management of the Thach Ha District Power Company (Ha Tinh).
