Typhoon Kalmaegi Hits Vietnam After Devastating Philippines
Typhoon Kalmaegi has made landfall in central Vietnam, bringing with it destructive winds and heavy rains. This powerful storm, which is now the deadliest typhoon in Asia this year, has left a trail of destruction in the Philippines, claiming the lives of at least 142 people. As Vietnam braces for impact, authorities have evacuated thousands from coastal areas and issued warnings about the potential for severe flooding. The storm is expected to exacerbate the already critical situation in central Vietnam, which has been grappling with severe flooding and heavy rainfall for over a week. Neighboring countries, including Thailand, are also on high alert as Kalmaegi approaches.
