At least 8 killed as fresh floods, landslides hit Vietnam
The Straits Times
|November 20, 2025
A new round of floods and landslides triggered by torrential rain in central Vietnam since the weekend of Nov 15 and 16 has killed at least eight people, said a government report on Nov 19, with traders also warning that it could hamper the ongoing coffee harvest.
-
From the night of Nov 15, rainfall has exceeded 1,100mm in several parts of central Vietnam.
The region is home to a key coffee production belt and the country's most popular beaches, but it is highly prone to storms and floods.
The deaths include those of six bus passengers killed in a landslide on the evening of Nov 16 en route from Da Lat to Nha Trang, the government said in the report.
Seven people remain missing, including three buried under a landslide in Danang.
