TAIPEI/HANGZHOU - Typhoon Danas made landfall in Taiwan late Sunday night and exited to sea early Monday morning, leaving two people dead and 334 injured, according to Taiwan media.

Danas has caused power outages in over 660,000 households and led to class and work suspensions in more than 10 counties and cities, said local authorities.

Danas was centered about 130 km north of Taipei as of Monday noon, with the maximum wind speed near the center around 90 km per hour, the local meteorological authority said, adding that while the main island of Taiwan is now outside the typhoon's storm circle, the northern coastal waters remain under threat.

With a rare track that brushed the island's densely populated west coast, Danas became the first typhoon to make landfall in Chiayi in 120 years.

As of 8 am Monday, the typhoon had caused a total of 2,270 incidents of damage, most involving basic infrastructure and fallen trees in Tainan, Chiayi, Kaohsiung and Yunlin, according to the local disaster response center.

As of 10 am Monday, the island had cancelled 176 flights, the region's aviation authority said, adding that flights are expected to resume gradually in the afternoon.

Due to the influence of the typhoon's outer circulation, heavy to torrential rain is still expected in Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung on Monday. The meteorological authority reminded the public to stay away from mountainous areas to prevent accidents.

East China's Zhejiang province has elevated its typhoon emergency response to Level III at 10 am Monday, as Typhoon Danas, the fourth typhoon of this year, moves closer.

At 7:00 am, its center was located over the sea, approximately 258 km southeast of Wenzhou, Zhejiang. It is expected to make landfall again along the coast between Taizhou in Zhejiang and Fuzhou in neighboring Fujian province, sometime between the afternoon and night of July 8.

From July 7 to 9, central and southern Zhejiang, as well as nearby coastal regions, are expected to receive total rainfall of 60 to 90 mm due to Danas, with precipitation in some areas potentially exceeding 350 mm.

Zhejiang has urged all coastal regions and departments to closely monitor the typhoon's path, strengthen joint consultations, and implement prevention measures in line with the contingency plan. These include sheltering ships, suspending sea routes and halting construction projects.
