TOKYO: Japan warned Wednesday (Aug 28) that an "extremely strong" typhoon bearing down on the main southern island of Kyushu would bring unusually violent storms, as three people remained missing after a landslide.
Shanshan was 120km (75 miles) off Yakushima island, packing gusts of up to 252km (157 miles) per hour and inching towards Kyushu, home to 12.5 million people.
