Earlier, at 10 p.m. on December 29, in the coastal area of Moi Hamlet in My Thuy Village in Hai An Commune of Hai Lang District, two local aquaculture farmers were working on the shore when they discovered a wooden boat drifted to the beach. Due to unfavorable weather conditions with heavy rain and strong winds, the unit organized a force to monitor it.
At 7 a.m. on December 30, Hai An Border Guard Station coordinated with local authorities, police, and military forces of Hai An Commune to approach and check the boat.
