According to the National Hydro-Meteorological Forecast Centre, storm No 3 has weakened into a tropical low and will continue bringing rainfall from Thanh Hoa to Nghe An provinces and expand to the southern region of the Northern Delta. The provinces should stay alert, especially taking precautions against flash floods and landslides in the mountainous districts.
The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has also resumed flights and added four more flights on August 25 between Nghe An’s Vinh City and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

One victim died and two went missing in Hanoi Tinh province. Quang Tri province estimates damages at 4.5 billion VND and in Da Nang city, a fishing boat has been declared missing, along with 10 fishermen.
In the hardest-hit province of Nghe An, the storm killed 6 people and injured 43 others, unroofed 31,500 houses and collapsed 295 others, with about 8,400 ha of crop likely to be lost as well. The total loss is estimated at 590 billion VND.
