Super Typhoon Yagi left at least two people dead in Hainan island, after what’s likely the strongest storm to hit southern China in a decade made landfall.
As many as 92 were injured in storm-related incidents, Xinhua News Agency reported citing local authorities on Saturday. The typhoon made landfall in China on Friday, first striking Hainan and later Guangdong province.
