Breaking News: Super Typhoon Fung-wong Unleashes Chaos in the Philippines
A nearly one million people have fled their homes in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Fung-wong makes landfall on Sunday, bringing powerful winds and heavy rain to the country's northeastern coast. The storm's 1,600-kilometer-wide rain and wind band threatens to cover two-thirds of the Southeast Asian archipelago.
The typhoon has already knocked down power lines and forced the evacuation of nearly a million people, with the defense chief warning many others to evacuate high-risk villages before it's too late. Fung-wong's landfall comes just days after Typhoon Kalmaegi devastated the central Philippines, leaving at least 224 people dead.
The Philippines is still reeling from the aftermath of Typhoon Kalmaegi, which struck on November 7, 2025. The country's northeastern coast is now bracing for the worst as Fung-wong brings strong winds and heavy rain.
The Philippine government has activated its disaster response teams and is working to evacuate those in high-risk areas. The storm's impact is expected to be felt across the country, with widespread power outages and damage to infrastructure feared.
