Typhoon Shanshan, the strongest typhoon to hit Japan this year, made landfall in southern Japan, leaving residents on high alert as they prepared for the powerful storm to hit. With winds reaching speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour, the typhoon brought heavy rain and widespread flooding to the region.

As the storm approached, authorities warned residents to take precautions and evacuate if necessary. Shelters were set up for those in need of a safe place to ride out the storm. The strong winds and heavy rains caused damage to buildings and infrastructure, leading to power outages in some areas.
