Typhoon Jangmi Moves Toward Japan's Kyushu
The four injuries, recorded across Okinawa province on Monday, resulted from falls and other weather-related incidents as the storm tore through the region, media reported, citing local officials.
The typhoon's passage also crippled transportation networks, forcing major airlines to axe multiple flights serving Okinawa and Amami-Oshima Island in Kagoshima province. Further cancellations are anticipated Tuesday on routes connecting Kyushu and the island of Shikoku, deepening the travel chaos.
At 5 a.m. local time, Typhoon Jangmi — the sixth typhoon of the season — was tracked west of Amami-Oshima, advancing north-northeast at approximately 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) per hour.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued urgent warnings of powerful winds and heavy rainfall, raising alarm over the potential for landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, and overflowing rivers across the Amami region and parts of western Japan through Wednesday.
Residents in the storm's projected path have been urged to remain on high alert as conditions are expected to deteriorate rapidly in the coming hours.
