TOKYO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th September, 2022) Typhoon Talas has resulted in the death of two people, left one person missing and three others injured in Japan's central Shizuoka Prefecture, Kyodo news agency reported on Saturday.
Two men have died as a result of a landslide that occurred due to heavy rainfall caused by the storm. A child is among the three injured people, according to the newspaper.
Some 55,000 homes were left without water in Shizuoka Prefecture due to equipment breakdown caused by the typhoon, Japanese broadcaster NHK said. Earlier in the day, media reported that about 115,000 houses were left without electricity in the prefecture after power lines collapsed due to a landslide.

The storm is expected to move eastward through Saturday night. The agency issued landslide alert information for Shizuoka, Yamanashi and Fukushima prefectures.
