According to initial information, on the morning of July 26, Mr. Nguyen Van Phuc (born in 2003, residing in Pham village, Uar commune) was at home taking care of his child, K (2 years old). After giving his child milk, Mr. Phuc let him play in the kitchen and then went into the house.
About 15 minutes later, Mr. Phuc could not find his child and immediately went to look for him. When he reached the lake near his house, Mr. Phuc discovered that K had drowned and died.
Previously, on the morning of July 25, a group of 4 children including Ksor H'B (13 years old), Ksor H'G (12 years old), Ksor R (13 years old) and Ksor D (11 years old) went to graze cows at a farm in Thanh Cong village.
At noon, Ksor H'B and Ksor H'G went to the lake in a household's garden to swim and drowned. Ksor R promptly rescued Ksor H'G to shore, while Ksor H'B had died.
Immediately after the incidents, local authorities visited, expressed condolences to the victims' families and provided each family with initial support of 1 million VND.
The People's Committee of Uar commune has also directed functional agencies to increase propaganda, reminding parents and children about the risk of drowning accidents, especially during the rainy season.
