MANILA: Haiyan, one of history's deadliest and powerful typhoons, rampaged into Vietnam and China after crippling the Philippines, killing more people in its path.
The Pacific Ocean-whipped storm, which is feared to have killed up to 10,000 people in central Philippines during its 60-plus hour show of might there and left the region in near total destruction, rolled into Vietnam Monday and later into China, reported UPI.
China's State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters reported at least five people had died as of late Monday in the southern island province of Hainan and one in south Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the storm's entry points into China.
At least seven more people remained missing in south China in storm-related incidents.
In Vietnam, Haiyan's earlier stopover before hitting China, authorities reported at least 13 people had died and another 81 injured as the storm, packing powerful winds, tore through the country's north-central and northern provinces. (QNA)
