Tropical Storm Shanshan has severely impacted Japan, leading to record rainfall and multiple fatalities, with at least six confirmed deaths and over 120 injuries reported. The storm, which made landfall as a powerful typhoon in Kyushu, has brought rainfalls exceeding 400 millimeters in certain areas, prompting mudslide alerts and warnings for flooding across eastern and western Japan. Infrastructure has been heavily affected, with approximately 700 flight cancellations and disruptions to rail services, particularly between Tokyo and Nagoya. Residents in several regions faced evacuations due to the storm's slow movement causing prolonged heavy rain and flooding. Experts attribute the storm's severity to climate change, which has intensified rainfall rates and increased disaster risks. Cleanup and rescue operations are ongoing as authorities continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on expected further rainfall and safety measures.
