On July 13, personnel from the Da Nang Municipal Military Command initially located and recovered the remains of five fallen soldiers at Da Sap Cave in Ha Nha Commune, Da Nang.

Following the groundbreaking ceremony, the search team entered the site and carefully removed layers of collapsed soil and rocks. During the operation, officers and soldiers discovered the remains deep inside the cave, mixed with mud and rock debris. Alongside the remains, they found numerous artifacts, personal belongings, and military equipment, including sandals, ballpoint pens, hair clips, medicine bottles, food containers, ammunition, and bone fragments. These findings provide important evidence for verification, identification, and clarifying information related to the fallen soldiers.

The initial recovery of the five sets of remains has been described as a particularly significant achievement, confirming the accuracy of historical documents, information, and eyewitness accounts regarding the location where officers and soldiers lost their lives at Da Sap Cave. It also provides a basis for authorities to expand the search area, with the determination to bring home the fallen soldiers who remain inside the mountain. The entire search, excavation, and recovery process has been carried out urgently, cautiously, and methodically, ensuring absolute safety while preserving all recovered artifacts for verification.

According to the plan, a memorial and burial ceremony for the five fallen soldiers will be solemnly held on the afternoon of July 14 at Dai Dong Martyrs' Cemetery in Ha Nha Commune, expressing the profound respect and gratitude of the Party organization, local authorities, armed forces, and people of the city to those who sacrificed their lives for the independence and freedom of the nation.
