Typhoon Shanshan has made landfall in southern Japan, near Satsumasendai city on the island of Kyushu. Authorities have warned that the typhoon is one of the strongest ever to hit the region. The government has issued evacuation orders for millions of residents in several prefectures. The typhoon has caused torrential rain and powerful winds, leading to widespread flooding of roads, landslides, and significant damage. In Miyazaki City, strong winds knocked down trees and shattered windows, damaging at least 40 buildings. The river in Yufu, Oita Prefecture, overflowed, and three people died in Aichi Prefecture due to a landslide. Nearly 800 flights have been cancelled by domestic airlines, and train, bus, and ferry services have been suspended across Kyushu Island. More than 250,000 households in seven prefectures are facing power outages, according to Kyushu Electric Power Co.
