SEOUL/TOKYO - South Korea hunkered down for the arrival of Typhoon Haishen on Monday, after the powerful storm battered Japan’s southern islands but appeared to pass through without major damage or casualties.
The storm, carrying top sustained winds of up to 144 kilometres per hour, was headed north toward South Korea’s second largest city of Busan, South Korea’s weather agency said. Officials have evacuated almost 1,000 people, while more than 300 flights across 10 airports, including Jeju International Airport, have been cancelled. Entries to national parks and some national train services have been suspended, the country’s safety ministry added.
Almost 2 million people had been ordered to evacuate the region, which was still recovering from heavy rains and flooding in July that killed 83 people.
