Typhoon Yagi and the landslides and floods it triggered killed at least 49 people and injured another 299 in northern Vietnam since the weekend, the government said, as authorities yesterday warned of more flooding.

The typhoon was Asia's most powerful storm this year and made landfall on the country's north-east coast on Saturday. It disrupted power supplies and telecommunications in several parts of Vietnam, mostly in Quang Ninh and Haiphong, the government said on Sunday. Twenty-two people were reported missing.
Weather forecasters yesterday warned of more floods and landslides. Rainfall had ranged between 208mm and 433mm (8in to 17in) in several parts of the region over a 24-hour period, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said, adding: "Floods and landslides are damaging the environment and threatening people's lives."
