(CNN) -- Typhoon Nanmadol reached the southern coast of Taiwan early Sunday, according to the Central Weather Bureau there, after killing at least seven people in the Philippines.
The slow-moving storm is projected to head directly over Taiwan before turning toward mainland China.
Nanmadol, known locally as Mina, triggered a landslide in northern Philippines on Saturday, killing at least two children, authorities said.
The landslide buried the victims in Pangasinan province, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
