27.06.2026The Day Typhoon Mekkhala Killed One in a Landslide

The day was dominated by Typhoon Mekkhala (No. 7) approaching Kanto, with NHK, TBS, and Yahoo issuing repeated heavy rain and landslide warnings. By morning, one death was confirmed in a Yamaguchi landslide, and evacuation orders spread across Chiba, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka. Typhoon No. 8 weakened to an extratropical cyclone overnight, but Mekkhala maintained intensity, causing record rainfall and disrupting transport. Non-weather stories included US airstrikes on Iranian facilities after a cargo ship attack, breaking a brief truce, and China-Russia joint strategic flights over the Sea of Japan. Domestically, the Sankei highlighted regulatory gaps in 'men's underground idol' services, while the Yomiuri reported opposition parties blocking all bill deliberations, escalating parliamentary tension.
