Destructive Cyclone Approaches Vietnam Following Claiming a Minimum of 114 Fatalities in Philippines

Prior to making landfall in Vietnam, Kalmaegi resulted in catastrophic damage in the Philippines - and at least 114 lives lost.

Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has announced a state of emergency - the threshold of which involves numerous deaths, major damage to property, and interruption of income sources and everyday existence for people in the affected areas.

This powerful storm, referred to locally as Tino, tore through the densely inhabited island of Cebu, inundating whole settlements and washing automobiles along avenues.

Many thousands of people were forced to evacuate, others are resting in designated safe zones.
