Two Vietnamese trainees have gone missing after Super Typhoon Haishen swept through Kyushu Island, southwest of Japan. The body of one trainee was found on the riverbank three kilometres downstream from where the mudslide occurred, the Japanese broadcaster NHK reported.

Super Typhoon Haishen left two persons dead, four missing, including two Vietnamese interns and more than 100 injured Monday as it battered almost the whole of Japan's southwestern main island of Kyushu.

The Haishen typhoon that strikes Japan and South Korea remains violent, prompting the two countries to raise alert signals to the highest level.
