Heavy rains in southern Japan cause flooding and mudslides, and leave several people missing

TOKYO: Downpours on Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu caused flooding and mudslides, injuring a number of people and impacting travel during a Buddhist holiday week. Several people were reported missing. The torrential rain that began late last week left one person missing and four others injured in the southern prefecture of Kagoshima. The low-pressure system stuck over the region has since dumped more rain in the northern parts of Kyushu. The Japan Meteorological Agency early Monday issued the highest-level warning in Kumamoto.
