Heavy rains in northern Vietnam have resulted in floods and landslides that killed a boy and a woman and destroyed 200 houses.

 

Under the influence of a low pressure trough passing through the north, the region has suffered frequent showers and thunderstorms in the past four days.

 

A five-year-old boy in Na Ri District of Bac Kan Province was swept away by flash flood on Thursday morning and later confirmed dead. The flash flood also injured two other people in the district, destroyed five houses, damaged 50 hectares of farms, and swept away two temporary dams.
