Three people died, one went missing, and three others were injured as Typhoon Kujira made landfall in northern Viet Nam on Wednesday.

The tropical storm hit the northern part of the country in the afternoon, killing two, injuring two, and leaving one missing in Son La Province.

One person died in Hai Phong City and another was wounded in Nghe An Province in the wake of the powerful storm.

Airlines said that almost 30 flights were either rescheduled or canceled because of the storm.

Many fishing boats are seen anchored at a port in Hai Phong City on June 24, 2015 before Typhoon Kujira made landfall.

Typhoon Kujira weakened to a tropical depression after entering Quang Ninh Province and Hai Phong late Wednesday afternoon, with the strongest winds reaching around 90kph.

The tropical depression will move further northwest at about 10kph and weaken into a low pressure system in the next 24 hours, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

Due to the effects of the tropical depression’s circulation, the northern area of the Gulf of Tonkin will experience very rough seas, while the coastal areas from Quang Ninh to Nam Dinh Provinces will see rough seas tonight and tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the northeastern region will have moderate and heavy rain, causing flooding with water levels of 3-6 meters upstream and 2-3 meters downstream in the Hong (Red) and Thai Binh Rivers on Wednesday and Thursday.

In addition, there will be a high risk of floods, flash floods and landslides in the northern mountainous provinces, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
