As Lao Dong newspaper reported, the fishing boat capsizing incident occurred on the evening of August 25 in the Tan Thai spillway area, bordering Dong Hy commune, Van Han commune, Linh Son ward (Thai Nguyen), causing 3 people to go missing.
Functional forces have spent the whole night deploying search and rescue.

In addition to using specialized equipment, diving plans are also being implemented.
Heavy rain in recent days has made the water flow fast, causing many difficulties for the search.
