Typhoon Kammuri leaves at least 4 dead in the Philippines

Ninoy Aquino International Airport's runways were opened at 6pm local time to allow airlines to bring back their aircraft to Manila, general manager Ed Monreal said in a statement. Regular flight operations were to resume at 11pm.

A villager was electrocuted while fixing the battered roof of his house in Libmanan town in Camarines Sur province in the hard-hit Bicol region, regional disaster response officer Claudio Yucot said. Kammuri's pounding rain and wind damaged the airport in Legazpi city in Albay province, collapsing a portion of its ceiling, scattering chairs in the arrival and departure areas and shattering glass panes.

In Manila, officials shut the international airport for seven hours starting before noon Tuesday as the typhoon roared through provinces south of the capital. More than 400 domestic and international flights were canceled due to the airport closure, airport manager Ed Monreal said.
