Typhoon Wipha has battered parts of Southeast and East Asia, causing widespread disruption in Vietnam, Hong Kong, southern China, and the Philippines.
The storm brought hurricane-force winds, torrential rain, and severe flooding, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights, airport closures, and the suspension of public transport. Authorities in Vietnam and China placed coastal regions on emergency alert, warning of flash floods and landslides as rainfall totals soared. Hong Kong issued its highest storm warning, with thousands stranded at the airport and dozens injured by toppled trees and debris.
As Wipha weakened, the region faced ongoing travel chaos and recovery efforts amid continued heavy rains.
