Several missing after floods and landslides hit southern Japan, officials and reports say
Several people were reported missing after heavy rains and landslides in southern Japan flooded homes and swept people away on Monday, according to media reports and local officials. Rescue teams continue to search for missing individuals after Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency advised tens of thousands of people in six prefectures to evacuate to safer areas. In Kumamoto prefecture, rescuers are searching for three people, one of whom was heading to an evacuation center with family when a mudslide hit their vehicle, according to the Associated Press. Areas of the prefecture were under Japan's most serious evacuation warning. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued landslide warnings for Kumamoto and eight other prefectures. In Misato town, also in the prefecture, rescuers saved an elderly man who was trapped inside his house after it was struck by a landslide and brought him to a hospital, the town's duty official told ABC News. He is expected to survive. Two people in Fukuoka city reportedly were swept away in a surging river Sunday and remained missing, Japanese national broadcaster NHK reported. Around 400 millimeters of rain fell in areas of Kumamoto prefecture in a 24 hour period -- a record for the area, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. "I have never experienced rain like this,' said Yoichi Tachihara, who leads the forecast and warning division at the Japan Meteorological Agency, in a press conference. 'There is a real threat to people's lives." 'Take the best action to protect your life immediately and with maximum caution,' urged Japan's Office of Disaster Management on Sunday evening in a post on X. Local television stations showed overflowing rivers and submerged houses and shops and roads submerged in up to a meter of water. A warm humid weather front resulted in unstable atmospheric pressure, leading to extreme rain in the region, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Monday's flooding hit during one of the busiest weeks of travel in the country. Monday is a national holiday which leads into the annual Obon Festival, when millions of people travel to their hometowns to commemorate the spirits of ancestors and deceased loved ones. Trains across Japan are usually fully booked during this holiday period. However, due to the extreme weather, the Japan Railway Company suspended service on multiple lines. Although the emergency warning was reduced to a less urgent heavy rain warning on Monday afternoon, the Japan Meteorological Agency warned that the soil had become unstable due to the precipitation, leaving the region at an elevated risk of landslides even without excessive rain. 'Be on high alert,' said Tachihara.

Ukraine ramps up drone attacks on Russia ahead of Trump-Putin Alaska summit
LONDON -- Ukrainian forces are increasing the intensity of long-range drone strikes deep into Russia, according to data released by Moscow, ahead of Friday's planned meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Russia's Defense Ministry reported downing another 59 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday morning, with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reporting that at least nine craft were shot down en route to the capital. Russia's federal air transport agency, Rosaviatsiya, reported temporary restrictions on flights at airports in Penza, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaluga, Volgograd and Saratov during the overnight attacks. Monday's figures bring the total number of long-range Ukrainian drones claimed shot down by Russian forces in August to 1,337 -- with a daily average of more than 121 drones each day. Moscow only provides data on the number of drones it claims to have shot down, and not the overall number of Ukrainian craft launched. Neither Ukraine nor Russia provide public information on the scale of their own cross-border drone attacks. In July, the total number of Ukrainian drones claimed downed over the course of the month was 3,008, with an average of just over 97 craft per day. Ukraine's air force, meanwhile, said Russia launched 100 drones into Ukraine overnight into Monday morning, of which 70 were intercepted or suppressed. Thus far in August, the intensity of Russian strikes on Ukraine appear to have eased. The first 11 days of this month have seen Moscow launch a daily average of 74 drones and one missile into Ukraine, compared with record-breaking July figures of 201 drones and around six missiles per day. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his officials have said Kyiv will continue and expand its long-range strikes in an effort to force Moscow to the negotiating table. "They in Russia must clearly feel the consequences of what they are doing against Ukraine," the president said in a statement posted to Telegram in May. "And they will. Attack drones, interceptors, cruise missiles, Ukrainian ballistic systems -- these are the key elements. We must manufacture all of them." It is not clear whether Zelenskyy will attend Friday's summit in Alaska. There, Trump and Putin are expected to discuss proposals to secure a ceasefire and potentially to end Russia's full-scale invasion, which it launched in February 2022. Zelenskyy has insisted that any negotiations must include Ukraine. Kyiv will also not officially cede any territory, accept limitations on its armed forces, or jettison its ambitions to join NATO and the European Union, Zelenskyy has said. Putin, though, is demanding that Ukraine cede several regions -- not all of which are controlled by Russian troops -- in the south and east of the country, accept curbs on the size and sophistication of its military and be permanently excluded from NATO. Russia's demands, Zelenskyy has said, constitute an attempt to "partition Ukraine." Speaking from the White House on Friday, Trump suggested a settlement could include "some swapping of territories." Zelenskyy swiftly rejected the proposal, saying Ukraine "will not give Russia any awards for what it has done" and that "Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier." On Monday, Zelenskyy appealed for more pressure on the Kremlin. "Russia is prolonging the war and therefore deserves stronger pressure from the world," he wrote on Telegram. "Russia refuses to stop the killings and therefore should not receive any rewards or benefits," he added.
