Super Typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm in Asia this year, triggered a deadly landslide in Vietnam's Hoa Binh province, killing four family members. The storm, which made landfall in northern Vietnam on Saturday, has claimed at least 14 lives and injured 176 others. It caused severe flooding and damage, including power outages and destroyed infrastructure, especially in Hai Phong and Hanoi. In Sa Pa, another landslide buried 17 people, with six confirmed dead. Yagi has been downgraded to a tropical depression but continues to pose flooding risks as it moves westwards.
