Posthumously awarding the First Class Military Exploit Medal to Major Nguyen Dang Khai

Major, martyr Nguyen Dang Khai

Earlier on the same day, General Luong Tam Quang, Politburo member and Minister of Public Security, signed a decision to posthumously promote comrade Nguyen Dang Khai from Senior Lieutenant to Major, effective April 17, 2025.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh signed Decision No. 794 on recognizing martyrs and granting the "Fatherland's Gratitude" Certificate to Major Nguyen Dang Khai, who sacrificed his life while performing his duty to fight and arrest criminals of illegal drug trafficking.

On behalf of the Management Board of the People's Public Security Comradeship Fund, the Minister and Chairman of the Management Board of the Fund also signed a decision to support 100 million VND for the comrade's family.

Major Nguyen Dang Khai, born in 1996, from Phu Cu, Hung Yen, is an officer of the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department of Quang Ninh Provincial Police.

Previously, the Quang Ninh Provincial Police discovered a large-scale drug trafficking and transportation ring led by Nguyen Huu Dang, born in 1967 (residing in Hung Thang Ward, Ha Long City) and established a special project to combat and destroy it.

On the evening of April 17, 2025, during the pursuit, the subjects suddenly fought back fiercely with AK guns. Senior Lieutenant Nguyen Dang Khai was shot; although his teammates quickly took him to the emergency room, due to the severity of his injuries, he heroically sacrificed himself while on duty.
