Typhoon

Footage on Japanese television showed trees violently shaken by the storm, with fierce rainfall hitting the pavement.

As the typhoon nears, airlines in Japan have cancelled flights and some companies have suspended production at factories in the western part of the country. Heavy rain and strong wind pounded the southern part of South Korea, with the typhoon travelling north at a speed of 24kph. Officials said the slow-moving typhoon could add to rainfall and risks of flooding in the country's southern region.

Typhoon Hinnamnor, the strongest storm in decades, approached South Korea with heavy rains and strong winds, forcing the evacuation of 200 people.

Cities in eastern China suspended ferry services and classes, and more than 100 flights were canceled in Japan on Sunday as Hinnamnor passed through the region. South Korea’s Ministry of the Interior and Safety said there were no immediate reports of casualties. North Korea was also bracing for Hinnamnor as it reported increasingly heavy rain in all parts of the country except for its border region with China. South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs, said the North has so far ignored Seoul’s request to give notification before it releases water from the Hwanggang Dam. As of Monday evening, Hinnamnor was over the open sea 112 miles southwest of Jeju. President Yoon Suk-yeol, who said he would stay at his office overnight to monitor the typhoon, urged maximum effort to prevent casualties during an emergency response meeting Monday.
