Heavy storms in northern Vietnam have left one person dead and another missing, as Wipha weakened from a tropical storm into a depression.

Tropical storm Wipha weakened after making landfall in northern Vietnam on Tuesday, with authorities on alert due to heavy rains that could cause flooding and mudslides, as the Philippines struggled with monsoon downpours that began last week.

Wipha first made landfall in China as a typhoon on Sunday, but its devastating impact has continued for days, as the tropical storm hit parts of Thailand and Vietnam. Watch this video for the latest.
