Tropical storm Jangmi battered Japan on Wednesday with heavy rain and strong winds, causing widespread disruption and extensive property damage. The storm left nearly 60,000 households without power as authorities warned of worsening weather conditions.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued its highest level-5 flood alerts across parts of central and eastern Japan, urging residents living near rivers and in low-lying areas to move to higher ground as rainfall intensified. The agency also warned of rising floodwaters in the greater Tokyo region.
