Flights grounded at Tokyo airports
Japan and India have been battered by winds of up to 120mph in two separate storms which have killed at least two people and demolished buildings.
Cyclone Hudhud hit Visakhapatnam in India – one of the country’s largest cities and home to a major naval base.
Two people were killed in the worst affected areas, after a wall and a tree collapsed in separate incidents. At least 400,000 people were evacuated from the surrounding area.
In Japan, at least 35 people were reported injured as Typhoon Vongfong hit the southern island of Okinawa.
Japanese airlines including All Nippon and Japan Air Lines cancelled more than 100 flights yesterday. 70 flights have already been cancelled today from Tokyo International (Haneda). Others are cancelled at Narita airport.
The storm was expected to travel north to the larger island of Kyushu, where authorities told 150,000 people to move, and reach the Tokyo area by today.
The Indian cyclone is also expected to travel north along India’s east coast.
