Typhoon hits S. Korea after Japan battered

Typhoon Haishen came ashore in South Korea on Monday after slamming through southern Japan, where it left four missing and more than 50 injured.

The storm, which carries top sustained winds of up to 144 kilometers per hour, made landfall in Ulsan, just north of Busan, South Korea's second-largest city, said the country's weather agency. The typhoon cut off power to more than 17,500 households in the area.

Footage of local broadcaster KBS showed the typhoon had caused landslides near apartment buildings on Geoje Island, and cars struggled to navigate flooded roads in cities like Ulsan, Busan and Sokcho.
