Khanun lashes Japan, South Korea as another storm looms FMTNews FMTWorld

TOKYO: Flights were cancelled and trains halted today as heavy rain from Typhoon Khanun pounded southern regions of Japan and South Korea, just as another storm approached from the east to threaten Tokyo ahead of Japan’s peak summer holiday season.

It is maintaining its strength and moving at an unusually slow 10kph, meaning the wind and rain will linger for longer. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida cancelled his attendance at a ceremony today to mark the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, in Kyushu. Yesterday, officials evacuated more than 30,000 scouts from their campsite in the southwest ahead of the typhoon, the latest snag to hit the World Scout Jamboree.
