Lieutenant Nguyen Khac Au, a member of the Gathering Team, Provincial Military Command, from Do Luong district, was injured while on duty with the Gathering Team in Laos.
At about 11:30 a.m. on April 5, 2018, while conducting a survey and searching for 6 martyrs' graves in Poong Noc area, Na Pan village, Ket Nam Xien 2, Pha Xay district, Xieng Khouang province, Lao PDR, professional Lieutenant Nguyen Khac Au was continuously caught in 2 mines. The pressure of the mines caused Lieutenant Nguyen Khac Au to have difficulty breathing, injured his right hand, and perforated his right eardrum.
After receiving first aid from his teammates and being taken to a medical facility in a neighboring country, Lieutenant Au's health gradually recovered and it was determined that his injuries were not life-threatening.

Up to now, the team has recovered 78/80 martyrs' remains with many relics, reaching 98% of the determined plan.
