Torrential rain has been pounding parts of southwestern Japan, triggering floods and mudslides that have killed at least one woman and left six others missing.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued an emergency warning for Fukuoka and Oita prefectures on the southern part of Kyushu island on Monday, warning of the “heaviest rain ever experienced” in the region and urging residents in riverside and hillside areas to take maximum caution.
