Vientiane: News sources from Xaisomboun Province reported that on the morning of August 27, 2025, flash flooding struck Nam Phang Village and Sibunheung Village in Thathom District following several days of continuous heavy rainfall.

In response to the natural disaster, officials have issued a warning to residents of all ethnic groups, local administrative authorities, and organizations in low-lying areas and along riverbanks to remain vigilant.
