At least 14 people have been killed and 176 others injured in Vietnam after Typhoon Yagi slammed into the country’s north, state media said on Sunday, as officials warned of heavy downpours despite its waning power.

The typhoon, described by Vietnamese officials as one of the most powerful to hit the region over the last decade, left more than three million people without electricity in the north.
