Jangmi injures at least 16 in Japan

At least 16 people were injured and nearly 48,000 homes in Okinawa and Kagoshima prefectures were affected by power cuts due to the storm, according to The Japan Times.

Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures saw at least 15 buildings partially damaged, with roads flooded, trees felled and objects blown down.

Jangmi is expected to gradually move eastwards and then northeast along the southern coast of Honshu, dumping 150 mm of rain in the Kanto region, which includes Tokyo.
