Fortunately, there were no students at school at the time of the incident and the teaching staff was gathering in the library for professional training. However, the facilities in the classrooms, roof, and ceiling on the 3rd floor were seriously damaged, school principal Vu Diem Phuong said.
Classes were temporarily suspended on September 5-6 while the Project Management Board of District 4 has begun repair work scheduled to be completed on September 22.
