Vietnam Raises Bualoi Death Toll to 19 as Storm's Fallout Widens

The storm left a regional toll after crossing from the Philippines into Vietnam.

Overview

  • Vietnam’s disaster agency reports at least 19 dead, more than a dozen missing—many of them fishermen—and 92 injured after Bualoi’s landfall north of Vinh in Nghe An.
  • Authorities say over 120,000 homes were partially or fully damaged and about 50,000 trees were downed, with Ha Tinh among the hardest-hit provinces.
  • Four central airports, including Da Nang, were temporarily closed and dozens of flights were canceled with many more delayed as power cuts, flooding and landslides disrupted travel.
  • More than 53,000 people were housed in emergency shelters and over 240,000 soldiers and responders were placed on standby as search and relief operations continue.
  • In the Philippines, officials reported 24 to 27 deaths and evacuated roughly 400,000 people before the system moved into the South China Sea and weakened over Laos.
