Floods from torrential rains have killed 13 people in central Vietnam, with more rain forecast for the region.
Local disaster officials said Monday that floods since late November have killed six people in Binh Dinh province and three in Quang Nam province.
The floods have largely receded, they said.
The government said in a report that another four died in Quang Ngai. The floods damaged the region's infrastructure, agriculture and livestock, it said.
The report says a cold spell from the north is expected to bring heavy rains to the region starting Monday.
