Tropical storm Wipha weakened after making landfall in northern Vietnam on Tuesday, with authorities on alert due to heavy rains that could cause flooding and mudslides, as the Philippines struggled with monsoon downpours that began last week.

Tropical Storm Wipha brought heavy rain and flooding to northern Vietnam, leaving one person dead and another missing, police said Wednesday.

A 59-year-old man was killed in Nghe An province when a tree fell on his house on Sunday (July 20) before the storm made landfall, police said.
