Vietnam is preparing for Typhoon Wipha, with emergency alerts in coastal provinces and flight cancellations. The typhoon threatens to bring severe weather, including heavy winds and floods, to northern mountainous regions and urban areas.
VOV.VN - The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has decided to temporarily suspend flight operations at Van Don international airport in Quang Ninh province and Cat Bi international airport in Hai Phong city from 11:00 p.
The thunderstorm came so suddenly that it overturned the boat within seconds, said two survivors of the shipwreck which killed at least 35 people in Vietnam's top tourist spot of Halong Bay and left another four missing.
VOV.VN - Typhoon Wipha, packing powerful winds and torrential rains, is expected to move into the Gulf of Tonkin on July 21, and strike the northern coastal provinces of Vietnam within the coming hours,
