A powerful typhoon damaged buildings, flooded roads and knocked out power to thousands of homes in South Korea on Monday after battering islands in southern Japan, killing one person and injuring dozens of others before weakening as it passed North Korea. The Korea Meteorological Administration downgraded Typhoon Haishen to a tropical storm Monday night as it made landfall near the North Korean coastal city of Hamhung. During its period as a typhoon, Haishen packed maximum winds of about 130 km/h as it barrelled through South Korea's southern and eastern regions in the morning. A road damaged by Typhoon Haishen is pictured in Ulsan, South Korea, on Monday. Pedestrians walk in the wind and rain brought by Typhoon Haishen in Seoul on Monday.
