TAIPEI, Taiwan — A typhoon dumped heavy rain in the northern Philippines but didn’t make landfall as it moved toward southern Taiwan, prompting weather alerts across the island and aiming at China’s southern coast.
Flooding in low-lying villages displaced more than 2,300 people, most of whom sought shelter in government evacuation centers, disaster-response officials in the northern Philippines said. Weather authorities warned of the risk of further floods and landslides, especially in mountainous areas that had seen heavy rains over the past few days.
