Flash Floods in Northern Vietnam Kill 155

A flash flood in northern Vietnam has devastated the hamlet of Lang Nu, resulting in at least 30 deaths and leaving around 65 people missing, as the toll from Typhoon Yagi and its aftermath rises to 155. The flood, triggered by torrential rains from the typhoon, buried the hamlet, home to 35 families, under mud and debris, with only a dozen survivors so far. Rescue efforts are ongoing, hampered by landslides and blocked roads in the affected areas, particularly in Lao Cai province. The typhoon has caused extensive damage, with at least 141 people reported missing and hundreds injured across the region. In addition, severe weather has led to infrastructure collapse, including a bridge in Phu Tho province that fell into the engorged Red River. Authorities are bracing for more rain, with evacuations taking place in parts of Hanoi as floodwaters reach alarming levels.
