At least eight people were killed as super typhoon Man-Yi hit the Philippine archipelago over the weekend, unleashing fierce winds and strong rains that triggered landslides and storm surges, authorities said.

As Super Typhoon Man-yi bore down on the Philippines in November 2024, dramatic footage was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed violent winds whipped up by the powerful storm.
