A large and powerful typhoon moved across Japan's southwestern region of Kyushu today, leaving two people dead and more than dozen injured.
According to Kyodo News website, Typhoon Nanmadol is expected to travel northeast along the main island of Honshu through Tuesday, with the Japan Meteorological Agency continuing to warn of violent winds, high tides and mudslides across western to northern Japan.
Around noon Monday, the 14th typhoon of the season was moving northeast near Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in western Japan at a speed of some 20 kilometers an hour.
