SEOUL - Typhoon Hinnamnor departed the Republic of Korea on Tuesday after making landfall in the country's south, leaving thousands of people displaced and one dead, authorities said.

The typhoon left the Korean peninsula about 7:10 am through waters off the southeastern city of Ulsan after landing on the coastal city of Geoje, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration.

As of 11 am, the typhoon was traveling northeast at about 62 kilometers per hour (38 mph), and expected to pass some 420 km west of Sapporo, Japan, at 9 pm.

Typhoon warnings were lifted across most parts of the country except in some regions, including the southern Ulsan, North Gyeongsang province and the eastern Gangwon province.

About 2,900 people are still evacuated, mostly in the southern regions, and more than 66,000 homes experienced power outages, with 45 percent of service restored as of 11 am

President Yoon Suk-yeol has urged officials to take precautions until the typhoon is completely gone, his spokesperson said.

The casualty numbers could rise as authorities continue rescue operations.

About 2,900 people are still evacuated, mostly in the southern regions, and more than 66,000 homes experienced power outages, with 45 percent of service restored as of 11 am.

The military has mobilized amphibious vehicles for rescue operations, the defense ministry said.

The typhoon has forced hundreds of flight cancellations, suspension of business operations and school closings.

A spokesperson for Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering said there were no incidents at its shipyard so far, and it halted production during Tuesday morning as planned.

A POSCO spokesperson said a byproduct gas release at the company's Pohang plant in the morning was caused by a typhoon-related power outage.

The neighboring Democratic People's Republic of Korea also braced for damage from the typhoon, with leader Kim Jong Un presiding over a two-day meeting on disaster prevention work and releasing water from a dam near its border with the ROK.

The ROK has repeatedly urged the DPRK to give notice before releasing water from the dam as it could result in flooding downstream but Pyongyang has remained unresponsive.
