Heavy rainfall and strong winds continued to buffet Japan on Friday as a tropical storm moved into the Sea of Japan after ripping through the western half of the country the previous day, leaving three dead and about 50 injured.

Tropical Storm Krosa, which was downgraded to an extratropical cyclone later the same night, sparked landslide and flood warnings and stranded some 1,700 passengers at Kansai International Airport in Osaka overnight Thursday after 232 domestic and international flights were canceled.

The main international gateway to western Japan was temporarily crippled by Typhoon Jebi last summer.
