Powerful typhoon slams into northeastern Philippines, killing 10

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Typhoon Mitag slammed into the northeastern Philippines after killing at least 10 people elsewhere in the country, while another deadly storm that had blown away days earlier headed back Monday, complicating emergency preparations.

A Philippine air force jet with two pilots also went missing in the foul weather while searching for 26 Filipinos whose fishing boat sank last week near the Spratly islands in the South China Sea, the air force said.

Two villagers were also reported missing when raging river currents swept away their house in the northern mountain province of Apayao, officials said.
