According to local residents, heavy rain continued to fall on the evening of June 4 in Nhon Mai Commune (Tuong Duong), causing serious erosion on National Highway 16 and isolating some villages again.

Residents of Xoi Voi village, Nhon Mai commune, Tuong Duong district said that heavy rain continued to fall in the afternoon and evening of June 4.

Specifically, the strong, rising water flow caused the road from Xoi Voi village to Co Ha village to be flooded, eroded and temporarily cut off this morning (June 5). Xoi Voi village currently has 70 households and Co Ha village has 30 households. People in Xoi Voi and Co Ha villages are not able to travel back and forth.
