12 killed in central Vietnam

Landslides and floods sparkled by Typhoon Toraji have left at least 12 people dead, six injured and two missing in Vietnam's central Nha Trang city, according to local authorities on Sunday, Xinhua reported.

Heavy rain, flash floods and landslides also destroyed 12 houses, inundated several areas including roads to the city's airport and triggered a breach of a reservoir, local online newspaper Lao Dong (Labor) quoted the municipal People's Committee as reporting.

In 2017, typhoons claimed the lives of 386 people in Vietnam, damaged more than 600,000 houses and caused economic losses of about 60 trillion Vietnamese dong (2.6 billion U.S. dollars).
