Deadly mudslide in Japan kills 2 and leaves 20 missing | DW News
In Japan, a powerful mudslide has swept through the seaside town of Atami, flattening nearly everything in its path. At least two people have died, and 20 more remain missing. The military has been deployed to the town, southwest of Tokyo, to assist with the search. Days of torrential rains appear to have triggered the disaster.
A bus sinking into mud, cars violently tipped over. Homes and businesses destroyed. Somewhere amid all this devastation are 20 local residents who couldn't get away in time. Two others have already been found dead. Rescuers are looking for more survivors.
In just a few days, the area has seen more rain that it usually does in an entire month. As rescue efforts and evacuations get underway, officials warn that more downpours are in the forecast.
Scientists say that the increased rainfall that led to this event is likely linked to climate change, which is causing extreme weather events like floods and mudslides to become more common and more severe.

South Korea retaliates after North Korea fires missile launches | USA TODAY
The U.S. Indo Pacific Command said the launches highlighted the “destabilizing impact” of North Korea’s illicit nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. The Japanese Defense Ministry said it also detected the launches and that the type of missiles used and their flight information were still being analyzed.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry said its top nuclear envoy held separate phone talks with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts soon after the launches. It said the three agreed to strengthen trilateral coordination on North Korea while repeating their calls for the North to stop weapons tests and return to talks.
Since late September, North Korea has launched a barrage of missiles toward the sea in what it called simulated tests of tactical nuclear weapons systems designed to attack South Korean and U.S. targets. North Korea says its testing activities were meant to issue a warning amid a series of South Korea-U.S. military drills. But some experts say Pyongyang has also used its rivals’ drills as a chance to test new weapons systems, boost its nuclear capability and increase its leverage in future dealings with Washington and Seoul
