The number of people killed by a recent typhoon in Japan has risen to 12, according to a report by Russian news agency TASS.
The report said most of the victims died in landslides triggered by the storm, while others drowned after their vehicles became submerged and trapped in low-lying areas hit by flooding.
Typhoons regularly bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to Japan during the season, and low-lying and mountainous regions are particularly vulnerable to flash flooding and landslides when rainfall totals are high in a short period.
The report did not specify the exact region or regions of Japan most affected, nor did it detail the number of people still missing or the extent of damage to infrastructure and property.
Japanese authorities have not been quoted directly in the available report regarding rescue operations or warnings issued ahead of the storm, and further details on the response effort were not included in the source material.
