Three people were killed while thousands were evacuated as powerful Typhoon Ineng (international name: Goni) approached the Philippines and Taiwan on Friday, authorities said.

In the highland town of Itogon in Benguet, two construction workers died after a landslide buried their roadside tent in rocks and mud. Close to 400 people in flood-prone towns were moved to shelters, police and disaster officials said.
