Typhoon Dujuan struck Japan with record rainfall, triggering deadly floods and landslides that left at least two people dead. The storm, which moved northeast toward the Pacific, caused widespread damage along the eastern coast, particularly near Tokyo. Emergency alerts were issued as nearly two million people were ordered to evacuate, with local authorities warning of an "imminent threat to life."
The typhoon unleashed torrential rain, leading to severe flooding in areas such as Chiba and Oshima, where road closures and flight cancellations disrupted travel. Landslides were reported near Tokyo, with one person missing in Kanagawa prefecture. The situation has prompted significant disruption, with communities facing both immediate danger and long-term recovery challenges.
Authorities have downgraded the threat in most areas, but the scale of the disaster remains severe. Rescue operations continue as officials assess the full extent of the damage.
