"Typhoon Bualoi made landfall in Vietnam before mignight on Sunday triggering floods, airport closures and evacuations of thousands of residents, the southeast Asian nation's state media reported. The storm hit Vietnam just north of its largest province, sooner than predicted, with a speed of over 130 kilometers per hour. The rainfall from the storm had already caused floods in central Vietnam's steel belt on Saturday."
"As of 8:00 am (0100 GMT), Bualoi was over Nghe An province where its speed weakened to 88 kilometers per hours, according to the national weather forecasting agency. Reuters reported that one person had died after being caught in the floodwaters while a dozen fishermen were reported missing amid a sea surge. Meanwhile, Associated Press reported one person had died earlier on Sunday by electrocution. The typhoon has killed at least 11 people in the Philippines over the weekend."
"Due to its geographical position, with a long shoreline facing the South China Sea, Vietnam is prone to facing such typhoons. Its agricultural ministry says more than 100 people have died due to natural disasters in just the first seven months of 2025. Edited by: Zac Crellin"
Typhoon Bualoi made landfall in Vietnam before midnight, hitting just north of the country's largest province at speeds over 130 km/h and causing heavy rainfall and flooding in central regions. By 08:00 am the storm had weakened to about 88 km/h over Nghe An province, but floodwaters and sea surges already led to fatalities and missing fishermen. The government evacuated at least 28,500 residents and closed four central airports, cancelling or delaying hundreds of flights. The national weather agency warned of prolonged wind and rain, sea surges, and possible flash floods and landslides. The Philippines reported at least 11 deaths over the weekend, and the agricultural ministry noted over 100 deaths from natural disasters in the first seven months of 2025.
