Floods and landslides in Myanmar, triggered by Typhoon Yagi and seasonal monsoon rains, have resulted in at least 226 fatalities, with 77 individuals reported missing, according to state-run media. The death toll, published by Myanma Alinn, has surged dramatically from an initial count of 33 reported on Friday. The number is expected to rise further as rescue efforts continue, hindered by communication challenges due to the ongoing civil conflict in Myanmar.

Typhoon Yagi, which previously affected Vietnam, northern Thailand, and Laos, caused substantial damage in the region. Nearly 300 people were killed in Vietnam, 42 in Thailand, and four in Laos, as reported by the ASEAN Coordinating Center for Humanitarian Assistance.
