The storm, carrying top sustained winds of up to 144 kilometres (90 miles) per hour, was headed north toward South Korea's second largest city of Busan, South Korea's weather agency said. Officials have evacuated almost 1,000 people, while more than 300 flights across 10 airports, including Jeju International Airport, have been cancelled. In Japan, around 440,000 homes in the southwestern Kyushu region remained without power on Monday morning after the storm passed through, public broadcaster NHK reported. Typhoon Haishen comes just days after Typhoon Maysak smashed into the Korean peninsula, leaving at least two dead and thousands without power. Haishen is also expected to draw near North Korea's port city of Chongjin late Monday.
