Their joint efforts resulted in the successful recovery of all three bodies by midday.
On the same day, the Vietnamese team deployed a medical unit to establish a field tent at the hospital, providing consultations and distributing essential medications to local residents affected by the disaster.
Additionally, another group was dispatched to survey Nay Pyi Taw to identify further areas in need of rescue and relief operations.
A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck central Myanmar on Friday has caused significant disruptions in regional transportation, affecting both air and rail services in Myanmar and Thailand.
Starting from March 31, the Vietnamese forces will commence search and rescue operations in the affected areas, while relief supplies will be distributed to communities in need.
The Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) is preparing to deploy a force to Myanmar to assist with its earthquake recovery efforts, according to the VPA General Staff at a conference on March 29.
To date, there have been no Vietnamese nationals reported to be affected by the earthquake originating in Myanmar, according to preliminary reports from Vietnam’s representative bodies in Myanmar and Thailand.
