Rescue of 12-year-old boy from 20-meter well

A 12-year-old boy in Ea H'leo commune, Dak Lak, was rescued by police on 17/3 after accidentally falling into a 20-meter deep well while playing at a neighbor's house.

Around 9:00, the boy from Buon Sam A went to a garden a few dozen meters from his home to play. While standing on the well's covered opening, the concrete slab unexpectedly broke, causing him to fall into the dry well, which was about 20 meters deep and contained trash and dry grass.
