3 Oct
Summary
- Death toll from Typhoon Bualoi exceeds 50 in Vietnam
- Widespread flooding and landslides damage over 200,000 homes
- Estimated $600 million in damage from the powerful storm
On October 3rd, 2025, the Vietnamese government reported that the death toll from Typhoon Bualoi has risen above 50, with more than a dozen people still missing. The powerful storm slammed into central Vietnam late last Sunday, bringing winds of up to 130 kilometers per hour and lingering over land for nearly 12 hours.
The heavy rains from Bualoi have inundated the capital Hanoi this week, and the resulting floods and landslides have damaged over 200,000 homes, public infrastructure, and farmland across the country. The environment ministry estimates the total damage from the typhoon may cost up to $600 million.
Landslides in the northern mountainous areas have killed several people and disrupted access to popular tourist destinations like Sapa and Mu Cang Chai. Images on social media show roads completely destroyed and massive rocks and earth blocking mountain passes.
