Floods after typhoon raise death toll to 26 in Vietnam

Vietnam's most devastating storm in 2025 brought heavy rain that triggered floods across its north, disrupting flights and train services, with the capital Hanoi, where schools were closed, and many homes inundated, the authorities said on Sept 30.

The death toll rose to 26, with 22 missing, state media said a day after Typhoon Bualoi made landfall in northern central Vietnam, bringing huge sea swells, strong winds and downpours.

"Water is flowing into my living room," said 49-year-old Hanoi resident Hoang Quoc Uy. "I've never seen anything like this before."

Flag carrier Vietnam Airlines cancelled or rescheduled several flights with the capital's Noi Bai International Airport "for the safety of passengers", it said.

"The weather condition in Hanoi is evolving in a complicated manner, with stormy rain that affects visibility and operations," it added.
