At noon today, Typhoon Yagi, with maximum sustained winds of 149 km/h (Category 13), struck the coastal areas of Quang Ninh and Hai Phong.
The intense storm has uprooted hundreds of trees and caused significant structural damage across the region.
The impact of Typhoon Yagi has led to extensive power outages throughout Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, and Thai Binh provinces. The power cuts are a result of both storm damage and precautionary measures taken to ensure public safety. Emergency services are working to restore electricity as quickly as possible, but some areas remain without power.
In addition to power outages, telecommunications services in the affected areas are experiencing intermittent disruptions. The network instability is affecting communication and emergency response efforts, complicating the ongoing relief operations.
Authorities are advising residents to stay indoors and follow updates from local officials as the storm progresses. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
In response to the severe threat posed by the storm, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a critical government session this morning, addressing key issues related to Typhoon Yagi. During the session, the Prime Minister emphasized the high risk of natural disasters and the complex situation affecting the Northeast and North Central Vietnam. In light of the situation, the government has established a forward command post in Hai Phong to oversee and manage storm prevention and response efforts.
Several ministers and deputy ministers have been dispatched to affected areas, particularly coastal provinces and cities, to ensure effective storm management. Additionally, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Public Security have mobilized forces on standby to assist local communities with storm defense and recovery operations.
