Japan's northcentral region of Noto was hit by heavy rain on Saturday, leading to landslides and floods that resulted in one fatality and several missing individuals. The deluge caused rivers to overflow, inundating homes and leaving some residents stranded in an area still recovering from a recent earthquake.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued the highest level of heavy rain warnings for several cities in the Ishikawa prefecture, including Suzu and Wajima on the northern coast of the Noto peninsula. In Suzu, one person lost their life and another went missing due to floodwaters. Additionally, four individuals were reported missing in Wajima following a landslide at a construction site.
