Typhoon Kajiki Batters Vietnam: Hundreds of Thousands Evacuated as Storm Unleashes Fury

Vietnam’s central coastal provinces are currently grappling with the devastating impact of Typhoon Kajiki, which made landfall yesterday afternoon, August 25th. The powerful storm has unleashed ferocious winds and torrential rains, tearing roofs off homes and felling trees across the affected regions.

In anticipation of Kajiki’s arrival, authorities had ordered the evacuation of nearly 600,000 residents from their homes, particularly in the coastal province of Ha Tinh. Residents in Nghe An province have reported terrifying scenes, witnessing waves as high as two metres and widespread flooding across roads.

The national meteorological centre has issued urgent warnings for potential flash floods and landslides, with 400 communes across six provinces on high alert. Flights at two central region airports and several train services remain suspended as the nation assesses the full extent of the damage. While the storm’s intensity has reportedly decreased since landfall, wind speeds remain dangerously high, prompting ongoing caution among residents and emergency responders.
