Typhoon Khanun Devastates Okinawa, Leaving Destruction in its Wake

Typhoon Khanun has caused power outages to over one-third of households in Okinawa, Japan, as it approaches the country's southwestern islands. One person has died and at least 25 others have been injured. The slow-moving typhoon has prompted the evacuation of nearly 700,000 people in Okinawa, with wind gusts of nearly 200 kph (124 mph) and heavy rainfall. The storm is expected to move towards China and Taiwan before potentially heading to Japan's Kyushu island. Power supply disruptions have affected mobile phone and internet connections, and transportation services have been severely impacted, with flight and ferry cancellations.
