Around midnight on October 28th, a loud explosion occurred on a mountain in Lang Moi village, about 4 km northeast of Ngoc Linh commune headquarters. Following the explosion, heavy rain caused a stream of red mud stretching over 3 km, burying crops and cutting off the inter-village road from Lang Moi to Ngoc Nang.

Mr. Dinh Xuan Hoa, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ngoc Linh commune, said that landslides have isolated approximately 430 households with more than 1,700 people in the villages of Ngoc Nang, Ngoc Lang, Mo Po, Xa Ua, and Tu Rang.

"This morning, the rain was still heavy. The commune, along with the army, police, and local people, worked to resolve the problem and relocate households in high-risk areas to safe locations," Mr. Hoa said.

Previously, Ngoc Linh commune experienced numerous landslides due to heavy rain. Specifically, on Provincial Road 673, the section from Xop commune to Ngoc Linh saw approximately 10 landslides that spilled rocks and soil onto the road surface. The Nong Vac suspension bridge leading to Dak Nai village in Ngoc Linh commune suffered damage to its abutments.

Heavy rains in central Vietnam began on the night of October 23rd, but intensified from the night of October 25th until today, causing floodwaters in Hue to reach historical peaks, and many areas in Da Nang to be deeply submerged.

In Quang Ngai, serious landslides occurred at more than 30 locations in mountainous communes and western communes (formerly Kon Tum province). On National Highway 14 connecting Quang Ngai with Da Nang, the Lo Xo pass experienced numerous landslides with thousands of cubic meters of soil and rocks, paralyzing traffic from October 26th to the present.
