Hanoi [Vietnam], Nov 6 (ANI): At least 47 people were killed and 21 others were missing after Typhoon Damrey ripped into southern Vietnam.
According to the Vietnam News, on Monday morning, workers found bodies of three victims, after a landslide buried nine people on Sunday night in Quang Nam Province's Dan Nuoc Village.
The landslide was triggered by prolonged heavy rains.
Due to the typhoon, which made landfall on the south central provinces on Saturday, inundation has been reported in many areas.
