Floods tore through central Thailand as rain from Typhoon Kajiki caused river levels to rise and killed at least four people.

Footage shows floodwaters surging through the gate of a home in Sukhotahi province on August 28.

The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation issued the highest flood warning level as the Yom River burst its banks and spilled into several villages.

Phatsorn Donpimpa, mayor of of Sukhothai Municipality, said rescuers have been deployed to help affected residents evacuate.

Officials said at least four people were killed and five were missing after the storm triggered landslides in northern Thailand.

Vietnam has recently been battered by Typhoon Kajiki, which made landfall on Monday, leaving at least seven people dead, one missing, and 34 others injured. Officials said more than 7,000 homes were damaged during the storm.

On August 27, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) said Kajiki had weakened into a low-pressure system over northern Thailand. Despite the storm's dissipation, heavy rainfall was expected to continue in the region for at least two days.
