Three persons have been reportedly killed following flooding and landslides that occured in northern Vietnam on Monday, the state media reports.

The downpour which started since Saturday also partially submerged thousands and many roads damaged, state media said.

High water on the Lo River had triggered “floods and landslides,” according to a statement on the website of the provincial authorities.

Access to three communes bordering China have been cut off due to landslides, the statement said.

According to state-run Voice of Vietnam, three people died after being swept away in floodwater or buried in landslides.
Vietnam is frequently lashed by harsh weather in the rainy season between June and November.

Last year, natural disasters including floods and landslides left 169 people dead or missing in the Southeast Asian nation.
Scientists have warned that extreme weather events globally are becoming more intense and frequent due to climate change.
