Typhoon No. 10 (Bualoi) slammed into Vietnam on the night of September 28 and early September 29, causing severe destruction across northern and central provinces.

The roof of a house in Thanh Hoa province is blown down by strong winds, trapping four family members inside.

The storm made landfall in central Ha Tinh province with winds of level 12 and gusts above level 12, accompanied by heavy rains.

Nearly 4,800 houses and structures were unroofed or damaged, mostly in coastal districts such as Loc Ha, Thien Cam, and Dong Tien.

Roads were blocked by fallen trees, roofs torn away, and traffic disrupted. Local authorities have mobilised all available resources to deal with the aftermath.

In central Quang Tri province, search and rescue operations are underway for nine missing fishermen after two boats sank in the Gianh River late on September 28. Thirteen crew members were on board; four swam ashore while nine remain missing amid rough seas.

In north-central Thanh Hoa province, prolonged downpours submerged many streets in Hac Thanh ward, paralysing traffic and daily activities.

In northern Lao Cai province, torrential rains and thunderstorms damaged nearly 250 homes, including one that collapsed, while 190 ha of crops were destroyed. Landslides along provincial road 162 involved some 30,000 cbm of debris, with more erosion reported on other routes.

The storm also damaged public infrastructure: schools and cultural houses lost roofs, six power poles collapsed, nearly 100 trees were uprooted, and several vehicles were struck by falling trees. Initial losses are estimated at 5 billion VND (about 200,000 USD).
