Severe flooding in central Vietnam killed ten people and submerged much of Hoi An after a major river reached its highest level in 60 years. Streets in the historic Unesco heritage-listed town were transformed into canals, disrupting daily life and tourism. Heavy rains caused water to enter shops and homes, leaving residents and visitors stranded. Emergency services and local authorities reported casualties and mounting property damage. The floods further strained infrastructure in one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. Photographs show residents and children standing at the entrances of flooded stores amid deep water.
