Typhoon Bualoi Kills 9 in Vietnam Before Weakening
A boat is washed ashore in Quang Tri, Vietnam, Monday, Sept. 29, 2025, after Typhoon Bualoi went through the area.
Former Typhoon Bualoi battered central Vietnam with heavy rain and strong winds, killing at least nine people, flooding roads, damaging homes, and sweeping away temporary bridges before weakening and moving into Laos on Monday.
The storm disrupted electricity and infrastructure, leaving over 347,000 households without power. Six fatalities were reported in Ninh Binh province, with others in Thanh Hoa, Hue, and Danang. In Quang Tri, a fishing boat carrying nine crew members was swept away; four swam ashore. Rescue teams are searching for 17 missing fishermen in central provinces.
Bualoi made landfall early Sunday in Ha Tinh with winds up to 133 kph and storm surges exceeding one meter. Thousands of residents were evacuated from coastal and northern provinces ahead of the storm.
The typhoon had previously claimed at least 20 lives in the Philippines, displacing 23,000 families who sought shelter.
