Tropical Storm Krosa hit western Japan on Thursday, August 15, killing at least one person and injuring at least 40, local media reported.
The “powerful” storm made landfall in Japan’s Hiroshima Prefecture on Thursday and sparked landslide and flood warnings, reports said.
An 82-year-old man in Onomichi died after he fell from a ship in stormy waters, local media reported.
