Hundreds of thousands evacuate as Vietnam braces for Typhoon Bualoi | Weather News

Three fishermen are reported missing after their vessels sank off the coast of Quang Tri province.

Vietnam has mobilised some 100,000 military personnel to help 250,000 people evacuate as intensifying Typhoon Bualoi barrels towards the country, forcing the government to shut down several airports.

Bualoi, the 10th typhoon to affect Vietnam this year, is currently at sea, generating winds of 130km/h (80mph) and is expected to make landfall later on Sunday, according to the meteorology agency.
