Typhoon Kompasu has struck the Republic of Korea’s capital, downing power lines and causing transport chaos.

At least three people were killed and dozens more injured in the storm - the strongest to hit Seoul in 15 years.

More than 120 flights were cancelled and power cuts hit major parts of the subway network.

Further south, Tropical Storm Lionrock made landfall in the Chinese province of Fujian, bringing strong winds and torrential rain.

Forecasters warned that the storm could trigger landslides.

In Yunnan province, in the south of the country, rescue work continued after rain on September 1 triggered a landslide in Wama village.

Four people are known to have died and 44 are missing in the wake of the incident.

Twenty-three people have been rescued in the village, which lies between steep mountains and the Nujiang River.
