Year's Strongest Typhoon Hits China – Over 700,000 Evacuated

The year's most powerful typhoon, Noul, has made landfall in southern China, unleashing strong winds and torrential rain. Chinese authorities reported that over 715,000 people have been evacuated to safe areas in the southern Guangdong province, according to Reuters.

The typhoon's arrival has caused significant disruptions. Hundreds of flights have been canceled, and train services were suspended on Sunday. The heavy rainfall associated with Noul has prompted authorities in Hong Kong to issue warnings about potential flooding.

This event is part of a broader context of weather-related news. Separately, Romania's president criticized Russia after a Romanian F-16 fighter jet shot down a drone that violated the country's airspace for the third consecutive day, with the defense ministry identifying it as Russian. Additionally, over 3,000 people have been infected with the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with a mortality rate exceeding 44 percent.
