At least 13 dead as typhoon Bualoi sweeps Vietnam

Typhoon Bualoi has killed at least 13 people and damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes in the centre and north of Vietnam, state media reported.

Dozens are missing or injured after the typhoon made landfall on Sunday night, flooding roads, washing away bridges and tearing roofs off buildings before weakening and moving into neighbouring Laos.

The Prime Minister mobilized emergency services. Experts warn that the risk of heavy rain and flooding remains.

Bualoi has already killed more than 20 people in the Philippines since Friday.

It's the latest storm to batter the region with powerful winds and rain. Last week, Super Typhoon Ragasa, the strongest storm of 2025, killed at least 28 people in the northern Philippines and Taiwan before making landfall in Hong Kong and China.
