Typhoon Haishen batters South Korea after slamming Japan
Typhoon Haishen has touched down in South Korea after slamming through southern Japan.
The storm made landfall in Ulsan, just north of Busan, South Korea's second-largest city, BBC reports.
More than 300 flights from 10 airports were cancelled, with some train services suspended.
The typhoon caused a loss of power across hundreds of thousands of homes in Japan, though initial assessments suggest it did less damage than feared.
Thirty-two people were injured, including four who sustained cuts after the glass windows of an evacuation centre were blown in, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK.
Some eight million people in Japan had been asked to evacuate in the path of the storm.
