Typhoon Kajiki, the 13th typhoon of 2025, has caused widespread disruption and damage in southern China and Vietnam. In China, the typhoon severely impacted Sanya, a tourist city in Hainan Province, leading to the suspension of classes, work, business operations, public transportation, maritime travel, and the closure of tourist sites. The city upgraded its typhoon warning to the highest red alert as Kajiki approached, bringing level 12 gusts that damaged shopping malls and hotels. Over 100,000 people in Hainan were affected, with emergency crews conducting rescue and cleanup operations. The typhoon then moved toward Vietnam, where it intensified and made landfall on the northern coast. Vietnamese authorities initiated mass evacuations, moving more than 500,000 people from four central coastal provinces and canceling over a dozen domestic flights. Military personnel were mobilized to assist with evacuations as the storm brought winds exceeding 200 km/h, heavy rains, flooding, and landslides. Kajiki caused significant damage in Vietnam's north-central coastal regions, flooding streets in Hanoi and damaging about 10,000 homes, leaving more than a million residents without electricity. At least eight deaths have been reported in the aftermath of the typhoon, including seven in Vietnam and one in Thailand, with 10 injuries recorded in Vietnam. Authorities continue to warn of possible further flooding and mudslides as recovery efforts are underway in both countries.
