News by : (Daily Sun) -

The storm -- the 10th to hit Vietnam this year -- made landfall late on Sunday, generating winds of 130 kilometres (80 miles) per hour.

Images published by AFP showed corrugated metal roofs blown off buildings and household debris strewn across saturated streets in coastal Nghe An province.

At least nine people were killed when a typhoon-related whirlwind swept through northern Ninh Binh province early on Monday, according to the local disaster agency.

Among those unaccounted for were nine people whose fishing boats were lost at sea Sunday night after their vessels were unmoored during strong winds and currents, police said.

Four domestic airports and part of the national highway were closed on Monday. More than 180 flights have been cancelled or delayed, airport authorities said.

Since making landfall in Vietnam, Bualoi has weakened as it moves towards neighbouring Laos.

In Vietnam, 175 people were killed or went missing due to natural disasters from January to August this year, the General Statistics Office (GSO) said.

Scientists warn that storms are becoming more powerful as the world warms due to the effects of human-driven climate change.
