In northern Vietnam, Typhoon Kajiki has led to the evacuation of more than 30,000 residents and the closure of airports.

According to Reuters, on Monday, the typhoon brought torrential rains to the northern coast of Vietnam, uprooted trees, and flooded homes, although wind speeds decreased from 166 km/h to 118-133 km/h.

State media report that several areas in Ha Tinh province experienced power outages, strong winds ripped roofs off buildings, and high waves washed away floating fish farms.

Witnesses describe two-meter waves in cities along the South China Sea coast.

By the decision of the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam, two airports in Thanh Hoa and Quang Binh provinces, which lie in the path of the typhoon, have been closed, and local airlines Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet canceled dozens of flights to and from the area on Sunday and Monday. The flight ban is expected to last at least until Wednesday.

The meteorological agency of Vietnam reported that from Monday until the end of Tuesday, some areas in the northern part of the country could receive up to 500 millimeters of rainfall. Due to high risks, the government evacuated over 30,000 people from coastal areas on Monday, and more than 16,500 military personnel and 107,000 volunteers were mobilized to assist rescuers.

With a long coastline bordering the South China Sea, Vietnam is constantly affected by storms that often lead to casualties and cause dangerous floods and landslides.
