The death toll from Typhoon Trami, also known locally as Tropical Storm Kristine, has risen to 85, affecting thousands across the country, according to local media.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reports that 81 individuals have lost their lives, with 66 injured and 34 reported missing in various regions. The fatalities include 47 in Batangas province and 28 in the Bicol region, as noted by the Manila Times.

However, OCD Administrator Ariel Nepomuceno said in a radio interview, "Reports are coming in, from 81 the death toll has risen to 85."

A new tropical storm, named Leon by some and Pagasa by others, is expected to reach the country this weekend.

Nepomuceno additionally ordered presidential helicopters to be dispatched to support typhoon victims, and the Philippine National Police, Fire Brigades, and Philippine Coast Guard have been put on high alert.

Philippine armed forces mobilized

Tropical Storm Trami has significantly impacted the Southeast Asian archipelago, bringing heavy rain and strong winds since Wednesday. In response, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the Philippine armed forces to mobilize resources to assist with relief operations.

He also directed the deployment of presidential helicopters to assist typhoon victims, while the Philippine National Police, Fire Brigades, and the Philippine Coast Guard have been placed on high alert.

Early last month, Asia's most powerful storm of the year made landfall in northern Vietnam on September 8, the National Meteorological Agency reported, leaving at least four people dead after sweeping through China’s Hainan Island and the Philippines, Reuters reported.

Super Typhoon Yagi struck the northern districts of Vietnam around 1 pm local time (0600 GMT), with wind speeds reaching up to 160 kph (99 mph) at its center. The storm had weakened from its peak of 234 kph (145 mph) when it hit Hainan a day earlier.

Yagi had already caused fatalities in other regions, claiming at least two lives in Hainan and 16 in the Philippines, the first country it struck after forming east of the archipelago earlier in the week.
