[Regnum] Eighty-seven people were injured in Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) due to powerful Typhoon Bavi. This was reported on July 11 by Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA), citing local authorities.

According to him, most of the injuries occurred when people fell from bicycles or motorcycles due to strong winds and slippery roads.

"Typhoon Bavi made landfall in Taiwan on Saturday, leaving 87 people injured, 14,476 residents evacuated and 177,485 households without power," the agency reported.

A typhoon struck Taiwan on July 11. In the first 13 hours after landfall, over 400 mm of rain fell in some areas of the island. The heaviest downpours hit mountainous areas, raising the risk of flooding and landslides. Waves up to 8.6 m high were recorded in southeastern waters.



Prior to this, thunderstorms, gales, and a tornado killed at least two people in Hubei Province in central China. Severe weather conditions associated with Typhoon Maysak were reported in several cities in the province. Water levels in 59 rivers in the region exceeded danger levels. Around 55,000 people were displaced by flooding and dam failures caused by heavy rains.
