As reported by Da Nang Newspaper, Radio and Television, on the afternoon of October 26, a deep hole appeared at the Ca Da bridge area due to the flood gouging the bridge pier, causing a motorbike to fall in, but fortunately no one was injured. Immediately after the incident, the Da Nang City Department of Construction directed the management unit to put up a rope to block the road and urgently survey and find a solution.

* From the evening of October 28 to noon of October 29, prolonged heavy rain combined with hydroelectric dam discharges caused the water levels of Truong River and Nuoc Oa River to rise, causing widespread flooding and landslides in the communes of Tra My, Tra Tan, and Tra Doc. Traffic in the entire region was paralyzed, and many residential areas were isolated.

Rescue forces and the military deployed drones to deliver food and support to people in isolated areas.
