VTV.vn - Typhoon Jebi hit Western Japan on Tuesday, killing 6 and at least 164 people were injured.

Jebi is considered the strongest typhoon to have made landfall in Japan in 25 years. Strong wind have caused trucks to overturn and debris to fly around in the air. Evacuation advisories have been issued for 1.19 million people in western and central Japan, with another 16,000 people issued with stronger but non-mandatory evacuation orders, the fire and disaster management agency said. Officials say the rains are bringing the possibility of landslides and flooding. Transportation has also been disrupted. After crossing the mainland, by nightfall the fast-moving storm  was heading out to sea from Ishikawa in central Japan.
