Drones deployed to deliver relief supplies to residents isolated by floods

Amid the complicated flood situation, authorities in Da Nang City have deployed drones to deliver relief supplies to households isolated by rising floodwaters.

Persistent rainfall from the evening of October 28 to the morning of October 29 caused the Truong River and Nuoc Oa River in Tra My and Tra Tan communes in Da Nang City to rise, cutting off transportation. Numerous residential areas in Tra My and Tra Tan have been isolated.
