At least 140 people killed after Typhoon Kalmegi causes severe destruction in Philippines

Manila (Web Desk): The recent Typhoon Kalmegi has caused severe destruction across the central regions of the Philippines, leaving at least 140 people dead and dozens more missing due to various accidents. In Cebu, widespread flooding swept away homes, vehicles, and containers, leaving a trail of devastation.

Typhoon Kalmegi is being described as 2025’s most dangerous storm, with winds reaching speeds of 140 km/h. These powerful gusts obliterated everything in their path, prompting Philippine President Marcos to declare a state of emergency across the country.

Reports suggest that, after wreaking havoc in the Philippines, the storm is expected to move towards Vietnam. In response, Vietnamese authorities have deployed over 260,000 soldiers and rescue workers as a precautionary measure. Coastal residents have been ordered to evacuate immediately, and major airports and highways in Vietnam have been closed to prevent further damage.

This typhoon has become a severe challenge not just for the Philippines but for the entire region, with authorities taking urgent steps to safeguard lives and minimize the destruction.
