(MENAFN) Typhoon Wipha has claimed the lives of three individuals, left one person unaccounted for, and injured at least five others as it battered Vietnam, according to a Thursday update from the Vietnam Disaster and Dyke Management Authority.

Of the confirmed fatalities, two victims were swept away by sudden floodwaters in the central province of Nghe An, while another person died in a landslide that struck the same area. The storm's impact has been both deadly and widespread.

Roughly 720 homes were severely damaged, while floodwaters inundated nearly 3,850 more throughout the northern and central regions of the country, the agency reported.
