Typhoon Krathon intensifies as it approaches Taiwan after causing damage in the Philippines

Typhoon Krathon has intensified and is moving towards Taiwan after causing severe damage in the Philippines. With winds up to 175 km/h, it is expected to strengthen further as it approaches Taiwan's west coast. Taiwan has issued a land warning as Krathon is forecasted to bring heavy rain and strong winds, particularly affecting the major port city of Kaohsiung. This storm is notable for its potential direct impact on Taiwan's western plains. In the Philippines, the typhoon has already led to evacuations, school closures, and disruptions to ferry services due to destructive rainfall. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely as the storm approaches.
