  "summary": "The Defense Ministry in Vietnam received 15,072 biological samples from martyr remains on October 5, 2023, for DNA testing to identify the fallen soldiers. These samples were collected from Can Tho, Dong Thap, An Giang, Vinh Long, and Ca Mau provinces and transported via a joint effort by the Air Defense-Air Force Service, Military Region 9, and the local governments of the mentioned provinces. The samples were carefully sealed and packaged in 161 specialized storage containers, with transportation and handover carried out by the Air Defense-Air Force Service, specifically Regiment 917 of Division 370 and Brigade 918. The ceremony at Gia Lam Airport paid tribute to the fallen soldiers with incense and flower offerings, adhering to Vietnamese traditions.
