At least 16 people are dead, and several others are missing following a landslide triggered by flash floods in Nu village, Lao Cai province, northern Vietnam. The disaster struck on Tuesday, burying 128 individuals under debris.
State media reports indicate that 30 people have been rescued so far, but many remain unaccounted for.
The death toll from Typhoon Yagi, which struck Vietnam over the weekend, has risen to 141, with dozens still missing, according to AP.
The landslide took place in a remote mountainous area, complicating rescue efforts. The state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper reported a lack of internet and disrupted traffic in the area.

District party chief Hoang Quoc Bao said, “Authorities are mobilizing forces to approach the landslide area to continue the search for survivors,” as reported by Tuoi Tre.
The situation has forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes. Many were stranded on rooftops, calling for help via social media.
Research indicates that typhoons are forming closer to the coast, intensifying faster, and staying over land longer due to climate change.
