Typhoon Fung-wong, also known as Uwan, made landfall in the Philippines, affecting over 900,000 people and causing two deaths. The storm brought sustained winds of 185 km/h and gusts of 230 km/h, prompting evacuations and flight cancellations. The typhoon is expected to weaken but still cause severe flooding and landslides.

A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 struck off the coast of Iwate prefecture in northern Japan on Sunday evening, triggering tsunami advisories along the coast. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued advisories for areas where the tsunami could reach 1 meter high, but later downgraded them to tsunami forecasts, indicating a lower impact. A tsunami of about 10-20 centimeters was detected in several locations. The advisory was lifted after three hours, but the agency warned of strong quakes for the next week, especially in the next two or three days. The region is prone to earthquakes, and the quake brought back memories of the 2011 triple disaster in Fukushima.
