HANOI — Severe floods are expected to inundate parts of northern Vietnam, including the capital Hanoi, government officials said, as the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm to hit Asia so far this year, continues to exact a deadly toll.

Landslides and floods triggered by the typhoon have killed at least 82 people and 64 others are missing in the north, the Southeast Asian nation's disaster management agency said on Tuesday in its latest update on the situation.
