Tokyo
\nFour people have died in Japan after Typhoon Dujuan battered Tokyo and surrounding prefectures with torrential rains and destructive winds, local reports said.
\nThe storm cut power for 50,000 people and caused the suspension of hundreds of flights. Most evacuation orders were lifted on Tueday as the storm pulled away from Japan\u2019s eastern coast.
\nAt the height of the storm on Monday, authorities warned of an \u201cimminent threat to life\u201d and urged 1.9 million people to move to shelters.
\nThe fatalities were from landslides in Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures. Six others were reported missing, public broadcaster NHK reported.
\nDujuan had sustained winds of 130km\/h (81mph) and gusts of 194km\/h.
\nThe typhoon is the latest in a series of storms in the Pacific, made more intense by the \u201csuper El Ni\u00f1o\u201d, which has warmed the ocean, fuelling the formation of storms.
\nAuthorities had advised the public to pay attention to weather information.
\nDujuan, which is Japan\u2019s 25th typhoon of the year, hit in the midst of a five-day holiday and forced the cancellation of several events.
\nConcerts scheduled for Monday at the Rock in Japan music festival were cancelled, while the Tokyo Game Show, a video game convention, also cancelled Monday\u2019s programme.
\nJapan\u2019s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi offered her condolences in a post on X to those who lost their lives in the typhoon, before saying she would be continuing with her scheduled trip the United States as planned.
\n\u201cWith a sense of urgency, I instructed Chief Cabinet Secretary Takehara and Minister Hosono to respond with utmost preparedness,\u201d she wrote, before saying she had boarded a flight to the US.
\nShe will be speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, and will meet with US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
