Khanh Hoa officials hold memorial for 25 fallen soldiers

On October 28, authorities in Khanh Hoa province held a formal ceremony to visit, memorialize, and bury 25 sets of remains belonging to fallen soldiers at the Ninh Thuan Martyrs' Cemetery in Xuan Hai commune.

These remains were recovered as part of the ‘500-day campaign to intensify the search, recovery, and identification of martyrs' remains.’ This marks the third such ceremony organized by the province since the campaign began, bringing the total number of recovered remains to 84.

The recovery process faced significant challenges, including complex weather conditions, changing terrain, and the fading of wartime traces over time. Despite these difficulties, search teams expanded their scope to locate the remains across various communes and wards, including Phuoc Dinh, Phuoc Ha, Thuan Bac, Vinh Hai, Bac Ai Tay, Thuan Nam, Cong Hai, Dong Hai, Ninh Chu, and Do Vinh.
