Nearly 200 people have died in Vietnam in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi and more than 125 are missing as flash floods and landslides take their toll, state media reported Thursday. <\/p>\n

Vietnam\u2019s VNExpress newspaper reported that 197 people have died and 128 are still missing, while more than 800 have been injured. <\/p>\n

The death toll spiked earlier in the week as a flash flood swept away the entire hamlet of Lang Nu in northern Vietnam\u2019s Lao Cai province Tuesday. Hundreds of rescue personnel worked tirelessly Wednesday to search for survivors, but as of Thursday morning 53 villagers remained missing, VNExpress reported, while seven more bodies were found, bringing the death toll there to 42. <\/p>\n

Yagi was the strongest typhoon to hit the Southeast Asian country in decades. It made landfall Saturday with winds of up to 149 kph (92 mph). Despite weakening on Sunday, downpours continued and rivers remain dangerously high. <\/p>\n

The heavy rains also damaged factories in export-focused northern Vietnam\u2019s industrial hubs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
