At least one person has been confirmed dead, with a further 10 still missing. All 11 people reportedly belong to the same family, Quang said.

Quang Nam has recorded several landslides since Wednesday due to impacts from now-devolved Storm Molave.

Another one struck Nam Tra My’s Tra Van Commune, killing eight and injuring 12.
