Super Typhoon Champi has disrupted joint military drills between Japan and the US in southern Japan. The drills, part of the Keen Sword 27 exercises, were intended to enhance interoperability between the two nations.
However, the storm's strong winds and heavy rainfall have forced the cancellation of several training events. The storm's impact on the drills is a setback for the US and Japan, which have been increasing their military cooperation in recent years.
