Typhoon Bualoi has caused severe damage in Vietnam, killing 11 people, 17 missing, and 33 injured. According to the weather agency of Vietnam, Bualoi had moved along the country’s northern central coastline before making landfall early this morning, causing waves as high as eight meters. The country’s disaster management agency said 17 fishermen were missing after huge waves hit two fishing boats off Quang Tri province, while another fishing boat lost contact during the storm. The government had evacuated more than 28 thousand 500 people, while hundreds of flights were cancelled or delayed as four airports in central provinces were closed.
