Typhoon Dujuan leaves 2 dead, 4 missing in Japan



Typhoon Dujuan has brought record rainfall to the Kanto and Tokyo's island regions. This has caused widespread flooding and landslides.

Dujuan is now moving away from Japan. But weather officials are urging people to remain on high alert.

Flooding was seen on Tuesday morning in parts of a residential area in Sakura city, Chiba Prefecture.

"I knew there was flooding, but I was surprised this morning that the water hadn't receded much."

The city of Yokosuka in Kanagawa Prefecture reported multiple landslides.

A woman in her 60s has been confirmed dead after mud flowed into her house. Police and firefighters are trying to find a couple in their 70s.

In the prefecture's city of Miura, a mudslide struck a two-story apartment building. A female resident in her 20s is unaccounted for.

In a house about two kilometers away, another woman in her 30s is said to be missing.

In Chiba Prefecture, a worker in the city of Sodegaura fell into a bamboo thicket while clearing debris on a road. He was later confirmed dead.
