Taiwan Recovers as Typhoon Krathon Dissipates After Days of Disruption

The typhoon weakened to a tropical depression, allowing work and travel to resume across most of the island.

Typhoon Krathon brought torrential rain and high winds to Taiwan, causing significant disruption for three days before dissipating over a mountain range.
Two people died, one person remains missing, and 667 injuries were reported, primarily in the eastern mountainous regions.
Kaohsiung, heavily affected by the storm, faced severe flooding and wind damage, with recovery efforts still underway.
Power outages affected 100,000 households in Kaohsiung and Pingtung, and a hospital fire during the storm in Pingtung resulted in nine deaths.
Taiwan's transport systems, including domestic flights and the high-speed rail line, have largely resumed operations, though some flight cancellations persist.
