Four people have died due to Typhoon Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, which brought torrential rain and powerful winds to the central Philippines today. The storm made landfall around midnight in Southern Leyte before striking Cebu. With sustained winds of 140 kilometres per hour and gusts up to 195 kilometres per hour, Kalmaegi caused widespread flooding that left residents stranded on rooftops in Liloan and submerged cars in Mandaue City.

A military helicopter deployed for relief operations crashed in northern Mindanao. Over 160 flights were cancelled, and authorities warned of storm surges up to three meters high. The typhoon is expected to move across the Visayas region and exit into the South China Sea by Wednesday, as Vietnam braces for possible impact.
