Scene of the landslide.

Accordingly, comrade Nguyen Khac Thuong (born in 1981) was posthumously promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel; comrade Le Quang Thanh (born in 1977) was posthumously promoted from Captain to Major, and comrade Le Anh Sang (born in 1990) was posthumously promoted from Senior Lieutenant to Captain.

Yesterday afternoon, after prolonged heavy rains, Bao Loc Pass suffered landslides in many places. Hundreds of cubic meters of rock and soil slid down from the top of the hill, 50 meters long and 3 meters high, to the headquarters of the Madagui Traffic Police Station (under the Traffic Police Department, Lam Dong Police). Three policemen were returning to the headquarters to regulate traffic on Bao Loc Pass when they were buried along with a local resident.

Lam Dong province mobilized 200 police officers, soldiers, army and other forces along with nearly 20 vehicles (excavators, dump trucks, drills, detectors...) to urgently organize the search for buried victims and overcome the consequences.
