Vietnam was lashed by fierce winds and torrential rain on Monday as Typhoon Bualoi barrelled into the country’s central coast, killing at least eight people, forcing mass evacuations, shutting airports and leaving hundreds of thousands without power.
At least 17 people, mostly fishermen, were missing after huge waves hit two fishing boats off Quang Tri province. Another fishing boat lost contact during the storm, the government's disaster management agency said.
