The Japanese authorities evacuated over 34,000 people in Kawasaki city near Tokyo due to the threat of landslides caused by heavy rains and typhoon Mindulle, local media said on Monday.

According to Japanese broadcaster NHK, typhoon Mindulle engulfed the Japanese central districts, including Tokyo on Monday afternoon. As a result, around 425 flights were canceled in the country and electricity has been cut off in some residential buildings.

Meteorologists say the Mindulle will reach Hokkaido, the second largest Japanese island on Tuesday and will move towards Russia’s island of Sakhalin in the North Pacific Ocean, the media outlet added.
