Two girls fell into a deep pond and drowned after going with their friends to a mining area to take photographs in the southern Vietnamese province of Tay Ninh on Thursday afternoon.

The local forensic agency completed the autopsy on the bodies of 13-year-old L.K.N. and 12-year-old N.T.H.D., both hailing from Tan Bien District, and handed them over to their families at around 9:00 pm on the same day, according to local authorities.
