Typhoon Dujuan leaves at least nine dead and four missing near Tokyo

Nine people have died and four remain missing near Tokyo after Typhoon Dujuan battered the region with heavy rain, according to the latest tallies from local authorities.

Chiba Prefecture reported six deaths while Kanagawa Prefecture reported three as of 8 a.m. Wednesday. Two people are missing in each prefecture and one person was seriously injured in Kanagawa.

The storm, which approached Japan’s Kanto region on Monday, triggered landslides and floods and damaged around 500 homes across Chiba, Kanagawa and Ibaraki prefectures, according to broadcaster NHK.

Known locally as Typhoon No. 25, the storm had moved northeast away from Japan’s Pacific coast by Tuesday night, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. The typhoon brought record rainfall to parts of eastern Japan, with some areas recording more than 800 millimeters of rain in 48 hours.

An oil spill was reported Monday at a refinery operated by Eneos Holdings in Yokohama, according to Japan’s transport ministry.

One person also died in a landslide in Miyazaki Prefecture after torrential rain hit the area over the weekend, the transport ministry said.

Typhoon Dujuan hit during Japan’s five-day Silver Week holiday. Japanese markets will resume on Thursday.
