The death toll in Vietnam from Typhoon Yagi and subsequent heavy rain that triggered floods and landslides was more than 140 on Wednesday, with dozens missing and many injured.
Typhoon Yagi was the strongest typhoon to hit the country in decades when it made landfall Saturday with winds of up to 149 kph (92 mph). It killed nine people and then weakened on Sunday, but continuing downpours triggered floods and landslides.
In Cao Bang, one of the hardest-hit provinces, 19 people were killed and 36 others are missing after a series of landslides occurred in mountainous areas.
