In a devastating turn of events, Typhoon Koinu, classified as a category 4 storm, wreaked havoc in southern Taiwan, claiming one life and causing injuries to hundreds. The typhoon made landfall on Taiwan’s Hengchun peninsula on Thursday morning, leading to widespread disruptions.
Flight suspensions were implemented, and millions of people saw their daily routines upended as schools and workplaces were forced to close. Tragically, one person lost their life in the central city of Taichung due to flying glass, as reported by Taiwan’s fire department.
