A powerful typhoon, Man-yi, struck the northern Philippines, displacing nearly 400,000 people and causing significant damage. The storm brought winds of up to 195 kilometers per hour and led to tidal surges exceeding 7 meters in some areas. The typhoon hit Catanduanes on Saturday night, leaving the entire province without power. Many residents were already recovering from previous storms, and officials warned of a potentially catastrophic situation as they prepared for further impacts. In response to the storm, at least 26 domestic airports and two international airports were temporarily closed. The U.S. and several Southeast Asian nations provided aid to support overwhelmed disaster-response efforts.
