A huge typhoon packing fierce winds is moving north toward the Japanese island of Okinawa and is projected to eventually hit the Korean Peninsula, where dozens of people were killed by a big storm last month.

The tropical cyclone headed for Okinawa is named Sanba and is currently classed as a super typhoon, with maximum sustained winds near its center of 210 kilometers per hour (130 mph), according to the Hong Kong Observatory, which monitors typhoons in the region.
