Typhoon Kalmaegi Leaves 5 Dead, Widespread Damage in Vietnam

On November 4th, 2025, Typhoon Kalmaegi brought fierce winds and torrential rains to Vietnam, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The powerful storm killed at least 5 people and left 3 others missing in the country's central provinces.

As floodwaters began to recede, recovery efforts commenced in the battered towns and industrial zones. Local authorities and residents worked tirelessly to clear debris and repair roofs, with over 2,600 homes damaged or having their roofs blown off, including more than 2,400 in Gia Lai province alone. The storm also caused power outages affecting more than 1.6 million households.

Kalmaegi had previously struck the Philippines earlier this week, leaving at least 188 people dead and 135 missing, and displacing over half a million. The country is now bracing for another potentially powerful storm, Typhoon Fung-wong, which is expected to make landfall in the coming days.
