Dozens are missing or injured after the typhoon made landfall on Sunday night, flooding roads, washing away bridges and tearing roofs off buildings before weakening and moving into neighbouring Laos.

Bualoi has already killed more than 20 people in the Philippines since Friday.

It's the latest storm to batter the region with powerful winds and rain. Last week, Super Typhoon Ragasa, the strongest storm of 2025, killed at least 28 people in the northern Philippines and Taiwan before making landfall in Hong Kong and China.

Typhoon Bualoi packed winds of 117km/h (73mph) when it made landfall in central Vietnam - though as it moved into Laos, its maximum wind speed weakened to 74km/h (46mph), Reuters reported, citing Vietnam's weather agency.
