Torrential rains from Typhoon Dujuan swept through Japan's Pacific coast, triggering landslides that led to the tragic deaths of two individuals, according to public broadcaster NHK. Four people remain missing following the devastating weather event. The typhoon also caused electricity supply disruptions to around 50,000 homes in the affected region.
In Yokosuka, a city in the Kanto region, a woman in her sixties perished when heavy mud flowed into her home. Landslides occurred in Kanagawa and Chiba areas as Typhoon Dujuan approached eastern Japan, prompting authorities to issue flood and landslide warnings. Rescue efforts were underway in Miura, another city in Kanagawa, south of Tokyo, where debris was cleared and a missing person was searched for in a landslide-affected home.
As the typhoon moved northeast away from Japan, residents in the region began to recover. The power company Tokyo Electric Power Co reported that nearly 50,000 households were without electricity due to the impact of Typhoon Dujuan.
