Many homes nearby are also engulfed in floodwaters from a swollen Kien Giang River.
Across Quang Binh, 32,000 households have been flooded, including nearly 20,000 in Le Thuy District and 12,000 in Quang Ninh District.
More than 9,000 households have been evacuated.
Authorities have advised people to remain indoors.
This is Quang Binh’s second major flood in four years. In October 2020 floods submerged Quang Ninh and Le Thuy districts under 2-4 meters of water for more than 10 days, causing 25 deaths and economic losses of VND3.5 trillion (US$138 million).
