On the afternoon of April 1, as planned, the rescue team of the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense continued to carry out the search mission at Ottari Thiri Hospital (Naypyidaw capital of Myanmar).

Inside the scene, a lot of concrete and bricks filled the floor, making rescue work very difficult.

To speed up the search, sniffer dogs were mobilized to the scene.

Accordingly, based on the hospital design diagram provided, the Vietnamese rescue team brought 3 police dogs to the scene. Upon inspection, all 3 barked at the same location.

This was identified as the location where the victim was likely trapped.

At this time, the rescue team planted flags and marked before using engineering equipment to re-check and determine the exact location.

Sniffer dogs search for possible victims still trapped.

That same afternoon, the engineering force brought machinery to the scene to drill and clear the concrete.

Because the floor was so thick, the rescue team had to use a chisel...

... then use pliers to cut off the steel woven panels.

At this point, a new "window" opened, allowing the team to have a wider view below to search for victims.

The search was carried out urgently in heat up to 40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by an unpleasant stench.

At this time, outside, relatives of the victims still trapped could not hide their pain. According to preliminary statistics, about 10 people are still missing under the rubble of Ottari Thiri Hospital...
