Authorities in Vietnam are evacuating over 500,000 people from four coastal provinces as Typhoon Kajiki approaches, with landfall expected on 25 August. With winds of up to 175 kilometres per hour, the storm is expected to bring heavy rain and potential flooding, prompting major carriers to cancel flights. Officials warn it could be as devastating as Typhoon Yagi, which killed hundreds last year, including 300 in Vietnam. Meanwhile, China has ordered more than 20,000 people on Hainan Island to evacuate, with public transport and tourist sites in Sanya closed as a precaution.
