Powerful Typhoon Haishen approached South Korea on Monday after slamming southern Japan with record winds and heavy rains that prompted evacuation warnings for millions.

On Monday morning, initial assessments suggested the storm had done less damage than feared, though hundreds of thousands of homes were left without power across much of Japan's southern Kyushu island.

At 7 am, the typhoon was 30 kilometers north of Tsushima island and was categorized as a "large" and strong" storm, having weakened overnight, but was still packing gusts up to 216 kilometers per hour.
