Severe tropical storm Shanshan moving north over Kyushu
Severe tropical storm Shanshan is moving northward over the Kyushu region, blanketing surrounding areas with heavy rainfall.
Weather officials are strongly urging people to take precautions against violent winds, downpours, landslides and overflowing rivers.
Shanshan made landfall in the city of Satsumasendai around 8 a.m. on Thursday. By 4 p.m., the storm was over Nagasaki Prefecture, continuing to head north at 15 kilometers per hour.
Already, some areas have seen about 800 millimeters of torrential rainfall over just 48 hours.
Heading into Friday, heavy rainclouds could form over much of Kyushu, the Shikoku and Tokai regions, and Yamaguchi Prefecture.
That will increase the risk of rain-related hazards. A mudslide alert is currently in effect for parts of Kyushu, Ehime Prefecture in Shikoku, and the Mie and Shizuoka Prefectures in Tokai.
By noon Friday, as much as 400 millimeters of rain could hit Kyushu and Shikoku in just a 24-hour period. Substantial rainfall is also expected in the regions of Tokai, Kanto-Koshin, and Kinki.

The Japan Meteorological Agency says very strong Typhoon Shanshan has made landfall in the southwestern prefecture of Kagoshima. It has issued emergency warnings for storms and high waves for the whole prefecture, except for the Amami region.
Weather officials say that Shanshan made landfall around 8 a.m. on Thursday in the prefectural city of Satsumasendai. Bands of heavy rain clouds have formed over Kagoshima as well as Miyazaki and Oita prefectures, also in the Kyushu region.
In parts of Miyazaki, more than 700 millimeters of rain fell in the 48 hours through 8 a.m. on Thursday.
Meteorologists in Japan say Shanshan could be one of the strongest storms to ever hit the country.
The typhoon is expected to bring gusts strong enough to knock down some houses. People in affected areas are urged to evacuate before those winds arrive.
Shanshan has already claimed lives hundreds of kilometers away. Rainfall triggered a landslide that struck a house with five occupants in the central prefecture of Aichi. Emergency crews rescued five people from the rubble, but three of them have died.
There have been over a hundred reports of wind gusts causing damage in Miyazaki prefecture. Weather officials believe that one was a tornado based on the extent of damage and eyewitnesses.
Dozens of people were injured in Miyazaki and Kagoshima. Many of them were hurt by broken glass.
Police in Kagoshima City received a report on Wednesday evening that a man in his 60s fell from a ship into the sea.
The storm is also disrupting travel in wide areas.
Kyushu Railway Company is suspending all of its bullet train services through Thursday. Some services connecting Kyushu with other regions are running slower or are partly canceled.
The Sanyo Shinkansen line may see lengthy delays or suspensions through Saturday. Thirteen trains will be suspended from 9 a.m. on Thursday between Hiroshima and Hakata stations.
The Tokaido Shinkansen, linking Osaka and Tokyo, could be affected as well, Friday through Sunday.
The country's two biggest air carriers -- Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways -- have suspended hundreds of flights. Other airlines have also halted flights. People hoping to fly in, out, or around Japan should check for updates as disruption from the typhoon could be prolonged.

The US government says the leaders of the United States and China are planning to hold telephone talks in the coming weeks. It would be the first such summit call between US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, since April.
The White House announced the plan in a statement after National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in China on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The statement says that Sullivan and Wang "welcomed ongoing efforts to maintain open lines of communication."
The document says the two sides also agreed on the importance of regular military-to-military communication, and made arrangements for commanders to hold phone talks.
Sullivan reportedly mentioned the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
He also stressed the US commitment to defending its allies in the Indo-Pacific region, and expressed concern about China's "destabilizing" actions against Philippine maritime operations in the South China Sea.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said Wang urged the US to stop arms sales to Taiwan and support a peaceful unification of China.
The ministry also said Wang demanded that Washington not support actions by the Philippines regarding territorial disputes between Manila and Beijing in the South China Sea.

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240829_09/Trump shooter repeatedly searched for information on potential targets, FBI says
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation says the man who shot and injured former President Donald Trump last month planned the attack in detail by repeatedly searching online for information on potential targets.
Trump, the Republican nominee for November's presidential election, suffered a bullet wound at a campaign rally in the eastern state of Pennsylvania on July 13.
The gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, was shot dead on the spot.
The FBI on Wednesday released photos of the rifle he used, and explosives and other items found in his car.
The bureau said Crooks had searched campaign events for both Trump and President Joe Biden since April.
It noted that in the 30 days prior to the attack, Crooks conducted more than 60 searches related to Trump and Biden.
He also looked for information on explosive devices, including how to make a bomb from fertilizer and how remote detonators work, as early as September 2019.
An FBI agent said Crooks engaged in detailed attack planning and when the campaign rally was announced, "he became hyper-focused on that specific event and looked at it as a target of opportunity."
The FBI found that Crooks fired eight shots and was killed about six minutes after he climbed onto a rooftop.
The agent said they have seen "no definitive ideology," either left or right-leaning, associated with the suspect.
The FBI will continue working to determine his motive.

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240828_27/Zelenskyy: F-16 fighters intercept Russian missiles, and appeals for more jets
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed that Western-supplied F-16 fighter jets have been used to intercept Russian missiles and drones, and appealed for more of the aircraft.
Russia launched massive missile-and-drone attacks on Ukraine from Monday through Tuesday.
The attacks have brought consequences on the daily lives of Ukrainians. On Wednesday, Ukraine's power company announced an emergency blackout in the capital Kyiv.
Zelenskyy said in a news conference on Tuesday that the F-16s have been effective, revealing that the aircraft whose delivery to Ukraine was disclosed on August 4 are already being used for air defense.
But Zelenskyy added there are too few of the fighter jets.
Meanwhile, cross border attacks from Ukraine are continuing.
The governor of Russia's southern region of Rostov, which borders on Ukraine, said on Wednesday that a drone attack triggered a fire at a fuel storage facility.
Another oil depot in Rostov was set ablaze by a drone attack on August 18.
The US think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said on Tuesday that the recent rate of Russian advance toward Pokrovsk in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk has been "relatively rapid," suggesting that Russia forces are stepping up their offensive in eastern Ukraine.
