Previously, at about 2 pm on June 21, a serious forest fire occurred in plots 2, 3, sub-zone 1019A, belonging to hamlet 1, hamlet 2, Thien Nhan commune, Nghe An province.

During the duty, a union member of the unit unfortunately suffered a leg injury and is being treated at Nam Dan Medical Center.
