Overview

• State media report seven deaths, one missing and 34 injured in Vietnam after the storm’s landfall, with continued downpours driving fresh hazards.
• Hanoi saw major roads submerged and traffic paralyzed as the city’s largest lake overflowed, while villages in several provinces were cut off by floodwaters.
• Vietnam’s government tallied nearly 7,000 homes damaged, about 28,800 hectares of rice inundated, some 18,000 trees felled and 331 power poles downed.
• More than 1.6 million people lost electricity at the height of the storm, two regional airports remained closed, and some rail services were suspended.
• Kajiki weakened to a tropical depression over Laos after hitting the north-central coast with 117–130 km/h winds, and authorities evacuated over 44,000 people and deployed thousands of soldiers and paramilitary personnel; one death was also reported in Thailand linked to the storm’s remnants.
