At least 236 people have been confirmed dead after Typhoon Yagi caused severe flooding in several regions of Myanmar.

Some 77 people remain missing, the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar reported on Tuesday, citing official figures.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) indicated the toll could be even higher.

"Multiple sources indicate that hundreds of people have died, with many more missing," it said in an update on Monday, saying an estimated 631,000 people might have been affected by the floods.

Typhoon Yagi, one of the strongest storms to hit the region this year, swept across southern China, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar last week bringing torrential rain. Hundreds have already been confirmed dead in northern Vietnam.

In Myanmar, flooding has affected at least nine regions and states including the capital Naypyidaw, as well as the central Mandalay region as well as Kayah, Kayin and Shan States.

The death toll from Myanmar's floods has risen to 293, with 89 people still missing, as of Thursday morning, state-run daily The Mirror reported on Friday.

The floods have affected dozens of townships in regions and states across the country, including Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory, according to the report.

As of Thursday morning, a total of 161,592 flood victims from 47,019 households were taking shelter at 425 relief facilities, the report said.

The floods have also submerged over 300,000 hectares of crops and killed 129,150 animals, the report added.

The widespread flooding in the Southeast Asian country was caused by heavy rains triggered by Typhoon Yagi and a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal.

The death toll in Myanmar in the wake of Typhoon Yagi has climbed to 384, with 89 people missing, the junta said on Saturday.

Yagi swept across northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar more than a week ago, triggering floods and landslides that have killed hundreds of people across the region.

Severe floods in Myanmar have caused significant devastation with a death toll of 419 as of Tuesday morning, according to the State Administration Council.

Over 140,000 people were affected by the floods, which have devastated over 750,000 acres of paddy fields and killed over 100,000 animals.

Additionally, the floods have destroyed 253 religious buildings, 926 roads and bridges, lamp posts and communication towers.
