Weather and maritime incidents in Gia Lai

Overview

In late August 2026, a fishing vessel named GL-99322-TS began taking on water and sank approximately 5 nautical miles northeast of the De Gi estuary near Gia Lai. The Cat Khanh Border Guard Station coordinated a rescue operation involving nearby fishing vessels, successfully transferring all 12 crew members to safety. All rescued fishermen were reported to be in stable health.

By early September, the region experienced severe weather and heavy rainfall. Intense rain caused localized flooding in Thong Nhat Ward, with water levels exceeding 1 meter in certain areas, prompting the mobilization of over 100 personnel for evacuations. Additionally, two men drowned while fishing on the Lai Giang River in Bong Son Ward; their bodies were recovered by police and fire rescue teams on September 3.
