It was moving westward at a speed of approximately 15 km/h.It forecasts that Yinxing would initially move westward towards the northern Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago before shifting its course west-northwest and eventually heading west-southwest towards the waters off the central coast of Vietnam.However, as the typhoon approaches Hoang Sa, it is expected to weaken, and even downgrade to a tropical depression upon landfall.Over the next 72 to 120 hours, the typhoon is forecasted to move southwestward at a slower pace of between 10 and 15 km/h, with its intensity continuing to diminish.Due to the typhoon's influence, strong winds ranging from levels 8 to 11 are expected in the eastern waters of the northern East Sea, with level 14 near the storm's centre and gusts up to level 17.Sea waves are anticipated to reach about 4 to 6m, creating extremely dangerous sea conditions.All vessels operating in the affected areas are advised to exercise extreme caution due to the risk of thunderstorms, whirlwinds, and high waves./.
