Japan, S.Korea cleaning up after storm

People in parts of Japan and South Korea are cleaning up after Typhoon Haishen battered both countries.

The storm left two people dead and several others are missing in southwest Japan. 96 others were injured in the country.

Haishen brought strong winds and heavy rain to Kyushu and other regions.

In Kagoshima Prefecture, a woman died from a head injury after falling into a gutter on her way to a friend's house.

In Saga prefecture, a man died after he fell trying to protect his house from the storm.

In Miyazaki Prefecture, rescue crews are searching for four people who may have been in buildings that were hit by a landslide and swept into a nearby river.

Two of them are Vietnamese trainees who work at a local construction company.

The owner of the company spent 10 hours trapped by a mudslide but was eventually able to free himself.

In South Korea, the storm claimed at least 2 lives after it made landfall on the southeastern tip of the peninsula.

Local media say about 3,000 people were displaced, two remain missing and five are injured.
