Typhoon Mangkhut: Philippines lashed by winds of more than 100mph
Sustained winds of more than 100mph have caused landslides, ripped off roofs and brought down trees in the Philippines as Typhoon Mangkhut pummeled northern areas of the country.
Two rescue workers were killed as they tried to free people trapped in the mountainous Cordillera region, Ricardo Jalad, head of the nation's disaster agency said.
A body was also found in a river in Manila, police said.
In neighbouring Taiwan, a woman died after being swept out to sea.
The storm, with gusts reaching 190mph, knocked out power as it tore across the northern part of Luzon island - an area that is home to around 10 million people, many of whom live in flimsy wooden homes.
More than 100,000 evacuees took refuge in emergency shelters following a mass evacuation of coastal areas.
There are storm warnings in 10 northern provinces.
"We believe there has been a lot of damage," social welfare secretary Virginia Orogo said.
