Typhoon Yagi, the strongest recorded in Asia this year, has left at least 60 dead and more than 250 injured in northern Vietnam, according to the latest tally.

The country has been swept by landslides and floods since Saturday, while heavy rains continue.

Today, a bridge collapsed and a bus was swept away by floods, with rescue crews unable to reach the crash site.

Since its passage, millions of households and companies – especially in Quang Ninh and Haiphong provinces – have been left without power, highways flooded, telecommunications networks disrupted, a bridge collapsed and thousands of trees fell, while economic activity in many industrial hubs also came to a halt.

The weather service warned of further flooding and landslides, noting that the amount of rain varied between 208 and 433 millimeters in various parts of northern Vietnam in the past 24 hours.

Typhoon Yagi weakened to a tropical storm after battering northern Vietnam, China’s Hainan province and the Philippines, killing dozens, according to preliminary reports.

The Civil Defense Agency of the Philippines, the first country to be hit by Yagi after it formed last week, today raised the death toll to 20 from 16 and said 22 people were still missing.

Yagi killed four people on the southern Chinese island of Hainan, according to the latest update from local authorities.
