A tropical cyclone in eastern India has killed at least 24 people, and demolished tens of thousands of mud homes.
In Japan, a tropical storm has killed at least one person and injured 75 before heading out to sea on Tuesday morning.
As weather improved in India on Monday, the air force used planes and helicopters to drop food packets in affected places in and around Visakhapatnam, the city worst-hit by Sunday’s severe cyclone, India’s home ministry said.
Rescue workers and soldiers cleared uprooted trees and electrical poles blocking roads to reach several coastal areas battered by the cyclone. About 11,853 people were evacuated from Andhra Pradesh state and 1,403 from Orissa state.
