According to Vietnam Plus, deputy prime minister Tran Hong Ha called on local authorities to stay alert and directed police to keep residents indoors from 11am to 6pm on 25 August, while chairing an emergency meeting to coordinate response measures for Typhoon Kajiki.

Tropical Storm Kajiki killed three people in Vietnam after it made landfall as a powerful typhoon on Monday, unleashing dangerous winds and prompting authorities to evacuate tens of thousands of residents as it surged through the country’s central provinces.

Typhoon Kajiki killed at least three people and injured 10 others in Vietnam, authorities said on Tuesday as they warned that heavy rains could cause flooding and landslides.
