Typhoon Dolphin Hits China and Japan, Prompting Mass Evacuations and Travel Disruptions

Typhoon Dolphin has made landfall in eastern China, forcing the evacuation of over one million residents as the storm brings record rainfall and heavy winds. Shanghai has experienced significant flooding, with authorities canceling more than 1,300 flights and relocating around 300,000 people in anticipation of possible disaster. The typhoon, which has intensified to a Category 4 storm, initially impacted the southern Japanese region of Okinawa, leading to airport closures and hundreds of flight cancellations. As the tempest moves further into China, coastal regions are suspending operations, and railway services are also being affected.
