Typhoon Dujuan Devastates Parts of Japan

Typhoon Dujuan has resulted in seven fatalities and five missing persons in Japan, triggering landslides and floods. The storm disrupted power for 58,000 households and forced the closure of a major video game event. With record rainfall in Oshima and Tokyo, experts link the severity to climate change, noting that warmer air increases moisture retention and storm intensity. As recovery operations continue, the disaster highlights the critical need for climate-adaptive infrastructure to safeguard vulnerable urban populations against the escalating risks of extreme weather events.
