The military helicopters departed from Vinh Airport to urgently deliver aid to affected residents.

Due to the impact of typhoon No. 3's circulation, multiple roads in western Nghe An Province have been severely flooded and blocked, and some bridges with overhead cables have broken.

Notably, National Highway 7A, the key artery connecting western communes of Nghe An Province, has suffered severe landslides at locations, with multiple sections deeply submerged, making it difficult for rescue teams and ground vehicles to reach.

In response to this urgent situation, under the direction of the Ministry of National Defense, on the morning of July 24, Northern Helicopter Company and Regiment 916 sent their two helicopters loaded with essential supplies such as food, water and medicines for residents isolated by flooding.

The supplies will be delivered to designated points in the communes of Muong Xen, Muong Tip, Nhon Mai, My Ly and Bac Ly.
