The death toll from torrential rain and landslides linked to Typhoon Dujuan in Japan rose to at least four on September 22, while six people remained missing, Reuters reported, citing public broadcaster NHK.
The storm brought record rainfall to parts of the Kanto region, triggering landslides and flooding in Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures. Rescue teams continued searching areas where people were feared trapped.
Reuters reported that around 45,000 homes remained without electricity as authorities worked to restore power and assess damage.
The casualty count has increased from an earlier report of two dead and four missing. Because search and rescue operations are continuing, the toll remains provisional and may change further.
Typhoon Dujuan was moving northeast away from Japan’s coast, allowing some weather warnings to be downgraded, but residents in affected areas continued dealing with flooding, mud and damaged infrastructure.
The latest figures should therefore be treated as a developing disaster toll rather than a final count.
