MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Hanna (international name: Haikui) may leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility on late Sunday or early Monday after threatening the country with heavy rain and strong wind.
In its latest bulletin, PAGASA said that Hanna was spotted 245 kilometers to the northwest of Itbayat in Batanes. It made a landfall over Taitung county in Taiwan.
