Previously, on the evening of October 23, due to the impact of heavy rain combined with high tides, a section of the Thanh Long islet dike (Phuoc Ly Nhi hamlet, Quoi Thien commune) broke with a length of about 15m. The incident caused water to overflow into the production area, causing flooding and damage to about 15 hectares of orchards of 6 households living on the islet.
