Typhoon Doksuri causes damage in China’s Fujian province

Schools and businesses closed, trees uprooted and power lines disrupted as storm blows in

Typhoon Doksuri swept into China's south-eastern Fujian province on Friday, bringing heavy rain and violent gusts of wind that shook power lines, uprooted trees and forced factories and shopping centres to shut.

The second strongest typhoon to land in Fujian after the deadly Typhoon Meranti in 2016 also forced the closure of schools and the evacuation of workers from offshore oil and gas fields, state media reported. There were no immediate reports of injuries or fatalities.
