At least five people have died after Typhoon Kalmaegi brought torrential rains and strong winds to central Vietnam, officials said Friday.
Three of the deaths occurred in Dak Lak province, while two died in Gia Lai.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese state media said three people were missing in the coastal province of Quang Ngai.
What is the extent of the damage in Vietnam?
The storm uprooted trees and downed power lines, leaving about 1.6 million homes without power. It caused dozens of houses to collapse and more than 2,600 others to have their roofs seriously damaged or blown off.
Vietnamese authorities warned of continued torrential rain, with up to 200 millimeters (8 inches) of rain forecast in the center of the country, where rising river levels have also prompted warnings of landslides and flooding.
Before Kalmegi’s arrival, Vietnam was still recovering from days of record-breaking rainfall that caused flash floods.
Kalmegi, which devastated the Philippines before moving westward over the South China Sea toward mainland Southeast Asia, weakened to a tropical depression early Friday morning.
It has left Vietnam and moved into neighboring Laos and Cambodia.
What is the situation in the Philippines?
Cleanup and rescue operations were underway in the center of the Philippines, where Kalamegi made landfall on Tuesday.
At least 188 people have been killed in the island nation, according to the Civil Protection Office, while about 135 are still missing.
Nearly half a million people have been displaced, while about 450,000 were moved to shelters, where more than 318,000 remained as of Friday.
President Fernand Marcos Jr. was scheduled to visit the hardest-hit areas in central Cebu province later on Friday.
A new storm is looming over the Philippines
Marcos Jr. has declared a state of emergency, as the Philippines braces for another potentially powerful tropical cyclone, Typhoon Fung-Wong.
The storm, known in the Philippines as Uwan, is expected to intensify into another super typhoon before making landfall in Aurora province in the archipelago’s north on Sunday night or early Monday.
Aurora is just north of the capital Manila, the most densely populated area in the country.
Kalmegi is the 13th storm of this year in the South China Sea.
The Philippines is affected by about 20 tropical cyclones each year. More than 6,300 people died when Super Typhoon Haiyan hit the country in November 2013.
