SEOUL, South Korea—A powerful typhoon damaged buildings, flooded roads, and knocked out power to thousands of homes in South Korea on Monday after battering southern Japanese islands. More than 20 people were injured.
The Korea Meteorological Administration warned of “very heavy rain and very strong winds” as Typhoon Haishen, packing maximum winds of 126 kilometers (78) miles per hour, made landfall in the southeastern port city of Ulsan. The weather agency said the typhoon, the third to hit the peninsula in as many weeks, was weakening and will likely be downgraded to a tropical storm within 24 hours.
