Flights were cancelled and tens of thousands of people were advised to evacuate their homes as powerful typhoon Khanun approached Japan's southern Okinawa island chain, threatening torrential rains and high winds through to Thursday.

Residents in the popular tourist destination, which is around 1,600km southwest of Tokyo, were advised to evacuate as the storm, with winds exceeding 200km/h, slowly moved northwest.
