Typhoon Bavi brings heavy rain and storm disruptions across parts of East and Southeast Asia. In the Philippines, authorities report that two landslides in Mindanao caused by Bavi’s rains kill at least 15 people, with six others missing, while separate reporting later puts the death toll higher at around 18. The storm also disrupts daily life and infrastructure: multiple outlets describe significant evacuations and closures in the region as Bavi moves toward Taiwan, and there are reports of power outages affecting Taiwan and Japan. In Japan and Taiwan, the storm’s effects include storm damage and incidents such as toppled trees, alongside electricity disruptions. In China, authorities evacuate close to two million people ahead of Bavi’s arrival, with one report stating the storm makes landfall in eastern China after being downgraded to a severe tropical storm. After affecting Taiwan and Japan’s southwestern islands, Bavi is described as weakening while continuing its path toward China and further beyond. Outlets also note that Bavi’s wind speeds reach about 155 km/h (with higher gusts) before it weakens.
