Typhoon Yagi has devastated northern Vietnam, resulting in a death toll of 197, with 128 people still missing and over 800 injured due to flash floods and landslides. The typhoon, the strongest to hit the region in decades, made landfall with winds reaching 149 kph, causing widespread destruction including the collapse of bridges and the inundation of communities. The hamlet of Lang Nu in Lao Cai province was particularly hard-hit, with rescue teams searching for 53 unaccounted villagers following a flash flood. Additionally, the storm has led to significant agricultural losses, destroying crops and livestock, and affecting over 15,000 residents in some districts. In Hanoi, floodwaters from the Red River have reached alarming levels, prompting evacuations and power cuts in affected areas. Authorities are concerned about additional rainfall and potential further flooding in the coming days.
