Typhoon Yagi's Rampage: Deadly Path from Vietnam to China

Typhoon Yagi weakened after devastating parts of Vietnam's capital Hanoi, killing at least three people and causing extensive damage. The storm, which was downgraded from a super typhoon, also hit southern China and the Philippines. Authorities warn of continued risks from flash floods, landslides, and power outages.

Typhoon Yagi weakened on Sunday after wreaking havoc in Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, leaving at least three people dead. The storm flooded neighborhoods, downed thousands of trees, and damaged numerous houses, according to the government.

Authorities cautioned of ongoing threats including heavy rains, flash floods, and landslides in northern Vietnam, where the downgraded storm has killed at least seven people and injured dozens since making landfall on Saturday afternoon.

In southern China, Yagi claimed four lives on Hainan Island. The Philippines, first hit by Yagi last week, saw its death toll rise to 20 and reported 22 people missing. By early Sunday, Yagi had weakened to a tropical depression, with Vietnam's meteorological agency warning of continued dangers in northern mountainous areas and the coastal province of Thanh Hoa.

Calm returned to Hanoi by Sunday morning, though the city grappled with widespread damage. Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport reopened after its closure on Saturday. Rescue operations for those missing at sea in the coastal provinces were slated to begin, pending safer conditions. Southern China's Hainan Island reported significant economic losses and power outages.
