Typhoon Yagi kills 2 and injures 92 in China’s Hainan, with over a million displaced, as Vietnam braces for impact from one of the most powerful typhoons in the region

In Vietnam, nine people died when the typhoon made landfall Saturday, and at least 55 others have died during the floods and landslides that followed.

Super Typhoon Yagi is making landfall on China’s Hainan island, bringing heavy rain and powerful winds to much of the southern Chinese coastline as well as Hong Kong and Macau. Chinese state media said 400,000 had been evacuated in Hainan as schools were closed for a second day and flights were cancelled across the region.

A decade-old picture of a Philippine city flattened by Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms ever recorded, has resurfaced in social media posts that falsely portrayed it as showing the damage caused by Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam.

Typhoon Yagi killed at least 4 people in Vietnam and injured 78 others, authorities say, after it killed 3 and hurt nearly a hundred in China.

Vietnam is preparing for more flooding with a tropical depression forecast to strengthen into a storm as it heads to its central coast, days after typhoon Yagi set off floods and landslides that killed more than 290 people in the north.

Typhoon Yagi triggered floods, landslides that have killed over 500 people across South-east Asia. Read more at straitstimes.com.
