Typhoon Kajiki struck the coastal provinces of Vietnam, causing severe flooding, major crop losses, and multiple deaths. The storm originated over the Philippines, intensified over the South China Sea, and impacted China and Vietnam as a Category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Vietnam, a Southeast Asian country with its capital in Hanoi, is bordered by China, Laos, Cambodia, and the South China Sea. Key rivers like the Mekong and the Red River support its agriculture, while the Annamite Cordillera forms a prominent mountain range. Vietnam’s vulnerability to tropical cyclones makes such natural disasters highly destructive.
