Wild weather causes landslides in South Korea
South Korea hunkered down as Typhoon Haishen rolled northwards along the country's east coast on Monday (September 7), a day after the powerful storm battered Japan's southern islands, where four people are missing following a landslide.
The storm, packing sustained winds of up to 112 km (70 miles) per hour, temporarily cut power to more than 75,000 households and displaced some 3,100 people in South Korea after making landfall on the southeastern tip of the peninsula, according to
the safety ministry.
At least two people have died, two more were missing and five others were injured, mostly in the southern regions hit by flooding, the ministry said.
