Vietnam closed airports and evacuated thousands of people in areas under storm threat on Sunday (Sep 28), as intensifying Typhoon Bualoi barrelled towards the country, days after causing at least 10 deaths and widespread flooding in the Philippines.
The typhoon was generating winds of up to 133kmh as of 5pm local time and is forecast to make landfall in central Vietnam around 8am local time on Monday, slowing as it nears the coast, state-run Thanh Nien newspaper reported.
