Typhoon Shanshan Forces Planes to Abort Landings as Japan Faces Severe Weather
Japan is grappling with the intense impact of Typhoon Shanshan, which has weakened to a severe tropical storm but remains one of the most powerful weather events to hit the country in decades. The storm’s strong winds have caused several planes to abort their landings at Fukuoka Airport, highlighting the dangerous conditions.
Authorities have issued the highest level of alert, prompting the evacuation of more than five million people in the southern regions. The storm has already claimed at least four lives, and hundreds of thousands of homes are without power as the typhoon continues its destructive path.
As the storm moves northward, it is expected to reach Tokyo this weekend, raising concerns about further disruptions and potential damage in the capital. The situation remains critical, with residents and authorities bracing for the worst as they monitor the storm’s progress.
