At least nine people were found dead on Wednesday in a nursing home for the elderly in a northern Japanese town of Iwaizumi because of flooding caused by Lionrock typhoon, local media reported.

TOKYO (Sputnik) — Lionrock, which emerged from the Pacific a week ago, is causing powerful storms and rains across the region.

According to the NHK broadcaster, police arrived at the nursing home dubbed Ranran after receiving a signal that the flooding had isolated another facility.

The broadcaster added that law enforcement officers had not identified the personalities of the dead people yet.
