Two people have tragically lost their lives as Typhoon Krathon wreaked havoc in southwestern Taiwan, particularly hitting the major port city of Kaohsiung with heavy rain. The typhoon, with winds reaching up to 135 kilometers per hour, made landfall in southern Taiwan, causing significant damage and prompting the island to shut down for a second consecutive day.
The Central Emergency Operations Center in Taiwan has reported two fatalities and 219 injuries, with one person still missing. The victims include a 66-year-old driver struck by falling rocks and a 70-year-old man who fell while trimming a tree during the storm.
