Typhoon Khanun: South Korea on High Alert

South Korea is on high alert as Typhoon Khanun approaches, with heavy rain and strong winds expected to hit the southern region starting on Thursday. Concerns over flooding, landslides, and other damage have prompted emergency inspections of vulnerable areas and facilities. The typhoon's path may be influenced by Typhoon Lan, which emerged southeast of Tokyo. Heavy rain is expected across the country, with some areas predicted to receive up to 600mm of rainfall.
