Vietnam death toll rises to 59 in Typhoon Yagi aftermath as bridge collapses, floods sweep away bus

Typhoon Yagi made landfall in Vietnam on Saturday, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The storm, which was Asia's most powerful this year, brought maximum sustained winds of 234 km per hour and heavy rains, resulting in at least 50 deaths and 300 injuries. The storm also caused landslides and flooding, with rescuers still searching for survivors in the Red River. The typhoon downed bridges, tore roofs off buildings, and damaged factories, causing power blackouts and major disruptions to factories in northern Vietnam. The storm was downgraded to a tropical depression on Sunday, but the government cautioned about the ongoing risk of flooding and landslides.
