Two were reported killed and dozens were injured as super typhoon Nepartak batters eastern Taiwan. The typhoon has weakened when it reached Pingtung County on Friday at around 8am. Bullet train services have been suspended, and more than three-hundred international and two-hundred-fifty-four domestic flights were cancelled.

China's central meteorological observatory also released the third highest typhoon alert. Nepartak is expected to move northwest at a speed of 15 to 20 kilometers per hour, and will reach the Taiwan Strait on Friday afternoon. The observatory also expects that it will land in Fujian Province tomorrow morning.
