Print Edition
TWO men were killed and another remains missing after Typhoon Vongfong smashed through Japan leaving the country counting the cost of the latest natural disaster.
A Chinese man has been missing in Shizuoka, central Japan, since he was swept away by high waves over the weekend, officials said.
The typhoon churned through eastern Japan early yesterday after hitting Okinawa over the weekend and making landfall on the nation’s southern main island of Kyushu on Monday, the meteorological agency said.
At least 96 people were injured in typhoon-related accidents in 23 prefectures, nearly half of Japan’s provinces, public broadcaster NHK said.
The body of a 90-year-old man was found in a farm ditch in Tottori, western Japan, a spokesman with the Tottori Police Department said.
“We suspect the man fell accidentally into the ditch late on Monday due to the storm,” the spokesman said.
A 72-year-old man was found dead early yesterday in Ehime, western Japan, after his small truck fell into a pond on Monday, police said. The storm was downgraded to an extra-tropical depression by morning and was moving away from Japan. It was located off the coast of northeastern Japan.
