A decade-old picture of a Philippine city flattened by Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms ever recorded, has resurfaced in social media posts that falsely portrayed it as showing the damage caused by Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam.

The death toll from Typhoon Yagi and its subsequent rain that triggered floods and landslides has climbed to 87 as 70 others remain missing and hundreds were injured, state media said.

Typhoon Yagi, Asia's most powerful storm this year, cost Vietnam roughly $1.6 billion and may cut into the country's growth rate, according to preliminary estimates from the investment ministry. Vietnam's economic growth in 2024 may slow by 0.

Vietnamese state media say at least 114 people have died and 176 others injured after Typhoon Yagi slammed the country's north, as officials warned of heavy downpours despite its waning power.

Yagi was the strongest typhoon to hit Vietnam in decades when it made landfall Saturday. It weakened, but officials have warned of more possible floods and landslides.

Manufacturers say that while many factories acted early to minimize damage, roughly 10 percent of buildings in Haiphong are deeply damaged.

Vietnam's economic growth in 2024 may decline by 0.15% compared to the previous forecast due to the impact of Typhoon Yagi, Asia's most powerful storm this year, according to Planning and Investment Minister Nguyen Chi Dung.
