Downpours and strong winds brought by Typhoon Shanshan led to four death in Japan from Saturday, Kyodo News reported.

 

The typhoon is expected to hit Japan's southwestern island of Kyushu on Sunday evening.

 

In the southern city of Hiroshima, a volunteer firefighter who was out on patrol Saturday night, was found dead in a rive on Sunday morning. A local newspaper reporter who went to a disaster site Saturday night is still missing, according to the police.
