In the northern regions of Vietnam, the storm brought fierce winds that tore off roofs, resulting in 12 people missing and 78 others injured.

Prior to hitting Vietnam, Storm Yagi battered China with severe weather, including lightning, heavy rainfall, and winds reaching speeds of up to 145 miles per hour.
