In Japan, Typhoon Nanmadol brought ferocious winds and record rainfall to the western part on Monday as one of the biggest storms to hit the country in years. It has killed at least two people, disrupted transport, and forced manufacturers to suspend operations.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida delayed his departure to New York, where he is due to deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly. Japan's 14th typhoon of the season made landfall near Kagoshima city late on Sunday before battering the western island of Kyushu and roaring onto the main
island of Honshu on Monday morning.
A river in Kyushu's Miyazaki prefecture overflowed, flooding fields and roads, footage from state broadcaster NHK showed. NHK said one man was found dead inside his car, which was submerged to the rooftop in the middle of a field, while another man died after being caught in a landslide. One other person remains missing, and at least 87 people have been injured, NHK said.
Nanmadol is expected to move northeast near Honshu on Tuesday.
