At least 12 people were killed and another six were injured by flash floods and landslides in Vietnam's central Nha Trang City, a local official said on Sunday. 

The floods and landslides in Nha Trang were caused by Typhoon Toraji, which also destroyed 12 houses and inundated several areas, including roads to the city's airport and triggered the breach of a reservoir.

In 2017, typhoons claimed the lives of 386 people in Vietnam, damaged more than 600,000 houses and caused economic losses of about 60 trillion Vietnamese dong (2.6 billion US dollars).
