Death toll from Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam rises to 14, including family of four killed in landslide

The death toll from Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam rose to 14 on Sunday and the storm was downgraded to a tropical depression after it ripped roofs off buildings, sank boats and triggered landslides.

The typhoon left a trail of devastation, killing two dozen people in southern China and the Philippines before devastating Vietnam.

According to state media, a family of four was killed in a landslide in the mountainous province of Hoa Binh in northern Vietnam early Sunday morning.

The landslide occurred around midnight after Yagi had experienced heavy rain for several hours, causing a mountainside to give way and collapse onto a house, VNExpress reported, citing local authorities.

Ten more people have died in storm-related incidents since Friday, some killed by falling trees or drifting boats, the Defense Ministry's disaster management agency said on Sunday.
