Asia’s strongest Typhoon of the year has hit Vietnam after sweeping through China’s Hainan island, where at least two people were killed.
Thousands of trees have been uprooted, with ships and boats swept out to sea, according to Vietnamese state media.
The storm hit Hai Phong and Quang Ninh provinces with winds of up to 203 km/h (126 mph) on Saturday morning, the Indo-Pacific Tropical Cyclone Warning Center said.
In Hai Phong, news agency AFP reports metal roof sheets and commercial sign boards were seen flying across the city.
