Typhoon Dujuan Leaves Two Dead, Widespread Disruption in Japan
Typhoon Dujuan swept through eastern Japan, leaving at least two people dead and five injured while causing widespread disruption, including record rainfall and power outages, before moving away from the coast on Tuesday. Authorities reported that one person died in Kanagawa prefecture and another in Chiba, with search operations continuing for four people missing after landslides triggered by the storm's torrential rain. The typhoon, which brought winds of around 144 kilometers per hour, forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights and prompted evacuation advisories for more than 1.6 million residents in and around Tokyo. Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways grounded a combined 275 flights, and railway operators suspended services on several lines. The storm also led to the early closure of the Tokyo Game Show, one of the world's largest video game trade fairs, and the cancellation of a major outdoor music festival and a baseball match in Chiba. Dujuan dumped record rainfall across the region.
