MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A strong typhoon has hit the northern Philippines, prompting a new round of evacuations in a region still recovering from back-to-back storms a few weeks ago. Typhoon Yinxing is the 13th to batter the disaster-prone Southeast Asian nation this season. Tens of thousands of villagers were returning to emergency shelters on Thursday and disaster-response teams were on high alert in Cagayan and other northern provinces near the expected path of Yinxing. The typhoon made landfall in Santa Ana town in Cagayan province on Thursday afternoon.
