On October 7, a 66-year-old man went missing after his boat capsized on the Ban Thach River near Ky Phu Bridge in Da Nang during heavy rain. While the man was swept away by fast-moving currents, his wife was rescued by local residents after clinging to a bag of grass. Search and rescue operations involving local police, military command, and firefighting units were initiated, though heavy rainfall and rising river levels hindered efforts to locate him.
