At least eleven people have been killed and about 600 injured after Typhoon Jebi ripped through Japan.
Local broadcaster NHK reports that of the eleven deaths, eight people died in the western prefecture of Osaka, including four men, who fell from the roofs of their houses after apparently being hit by strong winds.
Three others died after they were hit by flying objects.
NHK further reports that about 3,000 people spent the night at Kansai International Airport after a tanker hit the bridge connecting the offshore airport and the city of Izumisano.
Typhoon Jebi is being described as the most powerful storm to hit the country in 25 years.
