Typhoon Fung-Wong approached Metro Manila as the region recovered from Typhoon Kalmaegi’s deadly toll in the Philippines and Vietnam.

Typhoon Kalmaegi struck central Vietnam, killing at least five people and damaging structures in Quy Nhon and Gia Lai Province before moving toward the Philippines, where residents in Metro Manila prepared for Typhoon Fung-Wong by packing food supplies amid fears of further devastation. Meanwhile, Karachi, Pakistan, faced hazardous air pollution with dangerously high AQI levels, prompting health warnings and highlighting ongoing environmental challenges in major South Asian cities.
