Typhoon Kalmaegi has caused severe destruction across Vietnam with winds reaching 149 km/h, killing five people and damaging over 2,600 homes. The powerful storm, which previously claimed 188 lives in the Philippines, has triggered widespread flooding, shattered windows, and blown off roofs before weakening into a tropical storm as it moved toward Cambodia. Vietnamese authorities continue damage assessment as the region faces increasing climate-related weather disasters.
