Typhoon Yinxing, also known as Marce locally, wreaked havoc in the northern Philippines before moving away from the country, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. This marked the 13th major storm to hit the disaster-prone Southeast Asian archipelago this year.
Although there were no immediate reports of casualties from Typhoon Yinxing, it caused significant damage to infrastructure and homes. The typhoon brought heavy rains, floods, and landslides, particularly affecting Cagayan province where it made landfall. More than 40,000 villagers were evacuated to safer locations in anticipation of the storm's impact.
