Ca mau: Authorities in the southern province of Ca Mau on July 8 transferred the first batch of biological samples collected from unidentified war martyrs' remains for DNA analysis, marking an important step in the national 500-day campaign to identify fallen soldiers. At a ceremony held at the Tran Van Thoi Commune Martyrs' Cemetery, the provincial Steering Committee for the Search, Collection and Identification of Martyrs' Remains offered incense before handing over 237 eligible biological samples to the Institute of Criminal Science under the Ministry of Public Security for DNA testing.
