The casualties include four individuals from Quang Ninh province, four from Hoa Binh province, and three from Hanoi, according to the Department of Rescue and Relief under the Ministry of National Defense.
In addition to the tragic loss of life, the storm has caused significant property damage. Approximately 121,500 hectares of rice and crops were flooded and destroyed, particularly in Thai Binh, Hai Phong, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh, Hanoi, Nam Dinh, Hung Yen, and Ha Nam.
Another 5,000 hectares of fruit trees in Hai Phong, Thai Binh, and Hung Yen were also damaged. Many trees across northern regions were uprooted or broken, with around 17,000 trees affected in Hanoi alone.
On Saturday, Yagi caused widespread power outages and telecommunications disruptions in Hanoi, leading to severe flooding, the toppling of thousands of trees, and damage to homes.
After more than 15 hours in Vietnam, Yagi weakened to a tropical depression in the Northwest region, though it continues to bring heavy rains and flooding.
Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport, the busiest in northern Vietnam, reopened on Sunday after being closed on Saturday morning due to the storm.
