The typhoon made landfall in Ha Tinh province, bringing eight-metre waves, fierce winds, and nearly 300mm of rainfall, damaging over 100,000 homes and injuring 88 people. Seventeen of the missing are fishermen caught in huge waves off Quang Tri province, with others feared drowned after their vessel broke free. Authorities evacuated over 28,500 people and suspended operations at four airports, while power cuts affected over 347,000 households and thousands of hectares of crops were inundated.
