The death toll from Typhoon Yagi and its subsequent rain that triggered floods and landslides has climbed to 87 as 70 others remain missing and hundreds were injured, state media said.

Manufacturers say that while many factories acted early to minimize damage, roughly 10 percent of buildings in Haiphong are deeply damaged.

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.

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.

In Vietnam, 233 people have been confirmed dead and more than 800 injured after the strongest typhoon to hit Southeast Asia in decades.

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.

Vietnam's economic growth in 2024 may decline by 0.15% compared to the previous forecast due to the impact of Typhoon Yagi, Asia's most powerful storm this year, according to Planning and Investment Minister Nguyen Chi Dung.

Vietnam has postponed its planned 2G shutdown until next month following the impact of Typhoon Yagi. The switch-off had been set to take place by September 16 on land, however, the country's Ministry of Information and Communications has delayed the date until October 15 as more than three million people in the country are using the service.
