Philippines President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. approved a state of emergency declaration on Thursday as the storm response continued.

Aerial footage from the Philippines shows the destruction wrought on homes and streets by Typhoon Kalmaegi. It was one of the strongest typhoons in the Philippines this year.
