On July 1, information from the People's Committee of Bac Kan province said that at around 4:30 p.m. on June 30, a cave collapse occurred in Lien Ket village (Hiep Luc commune, Ngan Son district, Bac Kan).
Upon receiving the information, the Provincial People's Committee directed functional forces to inspect, grasp the situation and deploy rescue operations.
According to the People's Committee of Bac Kan province, the cave collapsed halfway up the mountain, about 500m from the road.
When the landslide occurred, there were 3 men in the cave, 1 local person escaped, broke his arm, and is currently being treated at Bac Kan Provincial General Hospital.
Two people trapped inside were Mr. Ma Van T. (39 years old, residing in Thuan Mang market, Ngan Son district) and Mr. Trieu Van X. (39 years old, residing in Nguyen Binh district, Cao Bang province).
The People's Committee of Bac Kan province has directed military and police forces to go to the area to directly inspect and grasp the situation, and at the same time mobilize forces to participate in the rescue.
Rescue operations encountered many difficulties due to the cave's rugged terrain and difficult access, making it impossible to use excavators, cranes, etc. for rescue. In addition, the amount of landslides at the cave entrance was large, with large rocks (more than 100m3 ).
At 11:20 p.m. on June 30, the rescue team brought Mr. Trieu Van X. out, conscious, talking normally, with no injuries.
However, Mr. Ma Van T.'s location has not been determined. Currently, rescue forces continue to use hydraulic jacks to lift rocks and carry out manual digging measures to search for victims.
Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Dang Binh directly went to the scene to direct and mobilize forces to speed up progress, ensuring safety for victims and rescuers.
The People's Committee of Bac Kan province has issued an official dispatch reporting the incident and requesting the National Committee for Incident Response, Natural Disaster Response and Search and Rescue to assist in search and rescue.
