Vietnam and China are evacuating hundreds of thousands of people, grounding flights and closing businesses as Typhoon Kajiki intensifies in the South China Sea.
At 6am GMT on Sunday the storm was around 500km off Vietnam’s central coast, moving west at about 20kmph with sustained winds of 149kmph. Forecasters in Beijing said Kajiki was expected to strengthen further, with winds potentially reaching 170kmph, before making landfall on Monday.
