(Bloomberg) — Typhoon Koppu left at least four people dead in the Philippines, shutting schools and government offices, while floods and landslides continue to threaten the nation’s main Luzon island.

The slow-moving and powerful storm caused a wall to collapse in Zambales in central Luzon, killing a 62-year-old woman, while a toppled tree led to the death of a 14-year-old in Quezon City near the capital. A six-year-old girl is missing after she slipped from a hanging bridge and fell into a creek in Nueva Vizcaya province. Two bodies were found in floodwaters in Nueva Ecija province, ABS-CBN News reported.
