Super Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm in Asia this year, hit Hai Phong and Quang Ninh northern provinces of Vietnam with winds of up to 203 km/h in the morning of 7 September, according to the Indo-Pacific Tropical Cyclone Warning Center. State media reported 4 fatalities and more than 78 people injured in the region. A dozen fishermen are missing at sea. The strong winds and flying debris have caused damage to buildings and vehicles, with falling trees leading to power outages in the capital, Hanoi. As of 20:00 local time (15:00 CEST) on 7 September, the state meteorology agency said the storm was still producing winds of up to 102 km/h as it moved inland. Satellite imagery shows the eye of the storm was southwest of Hanoi by then and is expected to move into northernmost Laos by Sunday evening. On 9 September, the Government has scheduled the Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership meeting to update on the impact and needs.
