Vietnam’s sniffer dogs discovered three potential victim locations, where victims were confirmed dead and buried at a depth of 2 meters. A search and rescue dog named Ja Vo eventually located the victims at a depth of nearly 8 meters.

Phyo Pa Pa Moe, a resident in Building 2367 in Zambu Thiri district, was relieved in receiving her belongings recovered by Vietnamese team 229 from the Engineer Corps.

“Thank you for your help. You are so kind. We are so happy. That’s all what we have. Thank you,” said Phyo Pa Pa Moe.

The buildings in the area collapsed. The entire first floor collapsed under the weight of the three upper floors, complicating the rescue teams' efforts to locate victims.

Captain Yar Zar of the Fire Prevention and Fighting Department of the Myanmar Ministry of Home Affairs said, "The first country to arrive was Thailand. The Thai forces came to assess the situation and then withdrew, but the Vietnamese team sought practical solutions. Now, both Myanmar and Vietnam must continue the search for victims, alive or deceased."

Due to a lack of heavy machinery, rescue efforts relied on smaller tools and physical strength, with the engineers' resourcefulness playing a crucial role in the operation.

Despite challenging conditions, Vietnam’s rescue force continued their search, identifying areas where victims might be trapped.

As of Monday, the death toll from the 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar was 2,056, said the military government. 3,900 people were injured and 270 were missing.

Rescuers are racing against time to find those still trapped and provide support to severely affected areas. Relief efforts continue and the number of victims is expected to rise.

Meanwhile, the death toll in Thailand rose to 19, after another body was found in Bangkok.
