Typhoon Dolphin hits Japan’s Okinawa, China shuts ports
Typhoon Dolphin lashed Japan’s southern Okinawa prefecture on Saturday, injuring five people and cutting power to 14,000 buildings, while China shut ports and ferry routes ahead of the storm’s expected arrival on its east coast.
The China National Meteorological Centre said Typhoon Dolphin was expected to make landfall along China’s eastern and southern coast between late Sunday and early Monday, most likely between Zhoushan city in Zhejiang province and Fuding city in Fujian province.
China has ordered that, due to the typhoon, ships passing through the Taiwan Strait must heed its traffic control instructions, measures that Taipei denounced as “ridiculous”, saying that Beijing has no right to restrict access to international waters.
