Typhoon Kammuri has entered the East Sea, packing winds of 90-100 kilometres per hour near its eye, with gusts of over 118 kilometres per hour, after sweeping through the Philippines.
New tropical low- pressure system formed in the eastern territorial waters of the Central- Philippines yesterday.
At least three people have been killed or gone missing as a result of the impact of typhoon Nakri, whilst thousands of homes throughout the central highlands region have been submerged in water.
Tropical storm Nakri, the sixth storm to affect Vietnam in 2019, is moving slowly eastwards and is expected to change course and head to Vietnam’s central region in the next 24 hours.
Because of pollution, climate change and overexploitation, marine biodiversity in the central region is declining.
A tropical depression has formed in the East Sea with strongest winds near its centre reaching up to 40 to 50km per hour, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
Authorities in Laos have asked for Vietnam's support to look for seven nationals who have gone missing in floods.
A tropical depression could strengthen into a storm which would affect many northern provinces.
