The campaign, carried out from July 4 to July 8, collected biological samples from relatives of war martyrs whose identities remain unknown. Authorities said the effort was both a key government initiative and a tribute aimed at helping reunite fallen soldiers with their families and hometowns.

As part of the programme, Bac Ninh reviewed records of more than 18,000 unidentified war martyrs and mobilized 14,532 relatives to participate in DNA sampling.

The province completed the intensive campaign within five days through coordination among the provincial police, the Ministry of Public Security's Department of Administrative Management for Social Order, DNA analysis company GeneStory and local authorities.

At 18 centralized collection sites, hundreds of police officers, officials and support personnel worked around the clock to ensure the database was accurate, complete, clean and up to date.

DNA samples are collected through a fast, accurate and scientific process.
