US EditionTropical storm leaves 4 dead in Vietnam and brings heavy rain to the region
Tropical Storm Kajiki caused widespread flooding and damage, killing four people and injuring 13, while nearly 600,000 were evacuated in central Vietnam, officials said.
- On Monday, Typhoon Kajiki made landfall in central Vietnam with maximum sustained winds of 117 kph, striking during high tides that caused coastal flooding in Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces.
- Vietnam's government mobilized plans to evacuate nearly 600,000 people in Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue and Danang provinces, where more than 152,000 homes were at high risk; over 16,500 soldiers and 107,000 paramilitary personnel assisted or stood by for rescue.
- State media reported at least four deaths and widespread housing damage, with 13 injured in Vietnam's central region; electricity outages began Monday night in Nghe An province, and two airports stayed closed Tuesday.
- Flood warnings triggered flash flood and landslide alerts as residents in foothill and low-lying communities near waterways faced risks amid Hanoi's flooded streets on Tuesday.
- Scientists warned last year and in 2024 that warmer seas will intensify Southeast Asia's cyclones, while the Thailand Meteorological Department forecast heavy rain into Wednesday as Kajiki's remnants moved over Laos.
