Vietnam hunts for survivors after typhoon kills 31

Vietnam hunted for survivors yesterday after landslides triggered by Typhoon Molave, one of its strongest storms in decades, lashed a central region already reeling from weeks of heavy rains that have killed at least 160 people. Hundreds of soldiers with heavy equipment were deployed to landslides in remote areas of Quang Nam province, where 19 people were killed and 12 were missing. The bodies of 12 fishermen were found at sea yesterday and the navy was searching for 14 others missing.
