Fifteen people remain missing nearly three days after Typhoon Hagibis smashed into central and eastern Japan, national broadcaster NHK said. More than 200 people were injured in the storm, whose name means "speed" in the Tagalog language. At least 25 people died in Fukushima, including a mother and child who were caught in flood waters, NHK said. Residents in Koriyama, one of Fukushima's larger cities, said they were taken by surprise by the flooding. Four of Japan's major refiners said there was no impact on their refinery operations from the storm.
