Typhoon Yagi: Vietnam’s Deadly Storm
Typhoon Yagi, recognized as Asia’s most powerful storm this year, hit northern Vietnam hard, leading to tragic loss of life and destruction. Government reports indicate that 49 people have died, and 22 are still missing, primarily due to landslides and floods caused by the storm.
The typhoon made landfall on Saturday on Vietnam's northeastern coast, which is home to major domestic and foreign manufacturing hubs. Though downgraded to a tropical depression by Sunday, meteorologists have warned of continued risks, including further floods and landslides.
