Enteng kills 12, leaves 7 missing, causes landslides and flooding

At least twelve people have died and seven remain missing due to Severe Tropical Storm Enteng (international name: Yagi) across various regions, with eleven injuries also reported.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) confirmed that seven fatalities were in Calabarzon, two each in Bicol Region and Central Visayas, and one in Western Visayas; all missing persons are from the Bicol region.

Enteng made landfall on Monday in Casiguran, Aurora, knocking out power in the municipality, with the center of the storm located off the northern city of Laoag in Ilocos province as of Tuesday morning.

The storm caused damage to infrastructure and led to landslides and flooding that resulted in deaths and injuries; search and rescue operations are ongoing in affected areas.

Pagasa raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 over Metro Manila and other areas, with TCWS No. 2 over nine regions in Luzon.

Classes have been suspended in some Luzon and Visayas areas due to Enteng, with government work also halted in Metro Manila under TCWS No. 1.
