After impacting Japan for two weeks, Typhoon Khanun hit South Korea, leading to the evacuation of 10,641 residents, cancellation of 355 flights, and the temporary closure of 1,579 schools. The typhoon is forecasted to reach Seoul and then move towards North Korea.
In Japan, the typhoon resulted in two deaths in Okinawa and 78 injuries overall.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have been suspended, noting that while communication channels remain open, “it would be more accurate to say there has been a pause.”
Peskov accused European countries of obstructing dialogue but insisted Moscow remains ready for negotiations.
Russia and Ukraine held three rounds of direct talks this year in Istanbul, leading to prisoner exchanges but little progress toward ending the war.
