At around 6:00 p.m. on June 19, Cao Thi Linh (18 years old, residing in Dien Yen commune, Dien Chau district) and two male friends went swimming in the Dao River, on the border between Duc Thanh and Do Thanh communes (Yen Thanh district).
While bathing, Linh was unfortunately swept away by the water and went missing. Her two friends rushed to the shore to call for help. Although people came to her rescue, the river water was high and deep so they still could not find Linh.
Currently, local authorities are coordinating with people and family to search for Linh by casting nets.
