Typhoon Damrey has killed at least 19 people after slamming into Vietnam’s south-central coast on Saturday, officials say, just days before Donald Trump heads to the country for the APEC summit of Asia-Pacific leaders.
Damrey reached land at 4am (local time) with winds gusting at up to 90 kilometres per hour that tore off more than 1,000 roofs, knocked down hundreds of electricity poles and uprooted trees.
At least 12 people were missing and more than 370 houses had collapsed, the communist state’s search and rescue committee said. More than 33,000 people had been evacuated.
