According to information from Duy Nghia commune authorities, at around 6 a.m. on October 29, people discovered that the sea dike in the commune had been destroyed by large waves, with the risk of seawater flooding into residential areas where many households are living behind the dike.

Currently, the weather in this area is still very complicated, with strong winds, big waves and floodwaters from upstream continuously pouring in, causing the flow to go deep into the mainland. The risk of directly affecting the safety of dozens of households living nearby is very high.

The soldiers coordinated with local forces and local people to reinforce and patch up the landslide areas. Despite extremely difficult weather conditions, heavy rain and strong winds, the forces still worked tirelessly.
