As Typhoon Neoguri continues to move across Japan, torrential rains and flowing debris caused a devastating landslide in the central Japanese town of Nagiso late on Wednesday.
At least one resident, a 12-year-old boy, was reported dead after the landslide buried his home, according to Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. Reuters said that at least 50 people were injured.
The storm, which had weakened to a tropical storm by Thursday, has forced thousands from their homes in the region, and prompted the cancellation of hundreds of flights and trains, the BBC reports.
