According to the Department of Dike Management and Flood and Storm Control under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, as of Tuesday morning, the typhoon has claimed three lives in Ninh Binh, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh, and injured 13 others, five each in Ha Tinh and Quang Tri, after making landfall in north-central Vietnam on Monday afternoon.

Roofs have been blown off in Co Dam Commune, Ha Tinh Province, Aug. 26, 2025.

Ha Tinh, located in the storm's eye, suffered the most severe damage. Winds of 89–118 kph and continuous heavy rainfall for over 20 hours tore off roofs of more than 6,300 houses, flooded 1,100 others, and destroyed nearly 21,000 hectares of rice crops.

In Thanh Hoa, while winds were weaker, persistent heavy rains flooded around 1,900 homes. The storm also triggered a 25-meter landslide along the right embankment of the Chu River and caused water to enter fields after jamming the salinity-control gate at Hoi Thong.

The typhoon disrupted transportation, with 30 flights were rerouted and 35 canceled, while Dong Hoi and Tho Xuan airports in Quang Tri and Thanh Hoa temporarily suspended operations.

Three passenger trains passing through central Vietnam were also halted.

Kajiki's strong winds toppled over 740 utility poles and damaged the power grid, leaving more than 1.6 million customers without electricity — nearly 870,000 in Nghe An, over 395,000 in Thanh Hoa, and almost 350,000 in Ha Tinh.

Kajiki, the fifth storm to hit Vietnam this year, formed last Saturday and displayed unpredictable behavior. It reached peak intensity of 166 kph early Monday while 200–400 kilometers offshore.

The storm made landfall between Nghe An and Ha Tinh in the afternoon with maximum winds of 118 kph, then lingered nearly stationary for three hours, prolonging its impact for over 10 hours.

By Tuesday morning, Kajiki had weakened and dissipated over central Laos, though heavy rains continued to affect northern and north-central Vietnam.
