SEOUL, September 07, 2020, SPA -- Typhoon Haishen escaped off the Korean Peninsula on Monday afternoon, ripping through the country's southern and eastern regions that had been reeling from the previous tropical storm, Yonhap News Agency reported. The season's 10th typhoon pummeled South Korea with violent winds and heavy rainfall of up to 70 millimeters per hour, just days after Typhoon Maysak triggered flash floods and landslides and damaged buildings, bridges and glass windows in high-rise apartments. Thousands of residents in low-lying areas took shelter, while flights, train services and passenger and fishing ships were all grounded. Tens of thousands temporarily lost power, and at least one person was reported missing after being swept away in flood waters. In Gyeongju, two turbine generators at the Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant stopped operation due to power outage. The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters said Haishen temporarily disrupted power supply to 37,644 houses nationwide. It also destroyed 48 structures around the country, and the tally was expected to go up, as the agency was in the middle of assessing the damage. --SPA 12:25 LOCAL TIME 09:25 GMT 0009 www.spa.gov.sa/w1405743
