Local residents made the initial discovery while a drainage system was under construction.
the Vice Chairman of the Quang Ngai city People’s Committee, Nguyen Manh Hung, said the personal effects and other information collected confirmed that the remains belong to those of commando unit 506A of the Quang Ngai military section who were killed while attacking a prison during its 1968 offensive.
