In Hanoi, people are seen battling strong winds
Super Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm in Asia this year, has killed at least four people after making landfall in northern Vietnam.
The storm hit Hai Phong and Quang Ninh provinces with winds of up to 203 km/h (126 mph) on Saturday morning, the Indo-Pacific Tropical Cyclone Warning Center said.
Strong winds and flying debris have caused damage to buildings and vehicles, with falling trees leading to power outages in the capital, Hanoi.
It was gathered that three people died in the northern Quang Ninh province, with another killed in Hai Duong, near Hanoi while some 78 people are thought to be injured in the region.
In Hai Phong, it was reported that metal roof sheets and commercial sign boards were seen flying across the city.
It comes after Yagi wreaked havoc on the island of Hainan – a popular tourist destination dubbed China’s Hawaii – on Friday.
Nearly 50,000 people have been evacuated from coastal towns in Vietnam, with authorities issuing a warning to remain indoors while schools have been closed in 12 northern provinces, including Hanoi.
