A mudslide in Kagoshima's Aira City caused a house to collapse, killing one person.



Kumamoto Prefecture officials say a man caught in a landslide in Kosa Town is in a state of cardiac arrest, and a woman has been found without vital signs in a car that plunged into an irrigation canal in Yatsushiro City. They say three people are missing.



In Fukuoka's Fukutsu City, police and fire officials are searching for a man and a woman in their 60s reported to have been swept away by a river.



Authorities say 681 houses have been inundated in Kagoshima, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and damage assessments are underway.



The rain front is expected to impact more areas, with bands of heavy rain clouds likely over Nagasaki Prefecture through Tuesday morning. The risk of rain-related disasters has risen in northern Kyushu as well as the Chugoku and Hokuriku regions.
