Provinces like Thái Nguyên, Cao Bằng, and Lạng Sơn were first hit, leading to flash floods and numerous landslides. The water crest then moved downstream, severely impacting areas like Bắc Ninh, where river levels remain critical and have surpassed historical flood marks. Even the capital, Hà Nội, experienced significant flooding and traffic chaos.
While the heavy rain has started to ease, the danger remains high as the water crest moves and ground saturation increases the risk of further landslides and flash floods in mountainous regions. Local authorities are focused on evacuations and restoring essential services to the hundreds of thousands affected.
