Tropical Storm Enteng kills 11, triggers floods, landslides

Tropical Storm Enteng (Yagi) triggered floods and landslides in the Philippines, resulting in at least 11 deaths.

The storm made landfall over Casiguran, Aurora on Monday afternoon according to the state weather bureau Pagasa.

As of Tuesday morning, Tropical Storm Enteng has weakened after hitting the mountain ranges but is set to regain strength once it reaches the West Philippine Sea and may exit the Philippine area of responsibility by Wednesday morning.

PAGASA forecasts that heavy rains will persist until Wednesday over the Ilocos Region, Ilocos Norte, Cagayan Valley, and the Cordilleras, with winds reaching gale-force speeds in some areas, potentially causing further landslides and flooding.

The Philippines is also considering legal action against China following a ramming attack in the West Philippine Sea over the weekend.
