Industrial cameras have captured hurricane-force winds and torrential rains lashing a power plant in Yuhuan City, east China's Zhejiang Province after Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in the region on Sunday.

Dolphin, the 13th typhoon of 2026, made landfall at Yuhuan at around 17:30 on Sunday, then made its second landfall at Yueqing City in Zhejiang at around 18:40, according to China's National Meteorological Center.

The footage relayed from the Huaneng Yuhuan Power Plant showed roadside trees bending and swaying in violent gusts, which drove sheets of rain to lash the cameras, repeatedly obscuring lenses with water mists.

Meanwhile, visibility in the plant continued to decline as dense curtains of downpour swept across the area.

Despite the brutal conditions, all generating units of the power plant have maintained stable operations, according to the latest update from the facility.

The plant has enhanced its duty roster, with operators monitoring parameters of generating units around the clock to ensure safe operations and stable power supply amid the extreme weather.

Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, warned on Monday that hostilities in Yemen are forcing people to flee their homes, causing civilian casualties, and putting the already stretched humanitarian operations there under growing pressure.

Renewed fighting in Yemen has displaced at least 125,000 civilians from 18,000 households since the start of September, he said at a press conference at the UN headquarters in New York City.

The UN Human Rights Office has verified 40 civilian casualties -- eight dead and 32 injured -- in the first two weeks of this month. Women and children account for half of those killed and more than half of those injured, Haq said.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the United Nations and its humanitarian partners continue to respond, despite extremely difficult operating conditions, providing aid to thousands of households as of Saturday. However, supplies are critically low, and funding is falling short of needs.

Haq highlighted that humanitarian access and movements remain severely constrained due to insecurity. Humanitarian movements into and within several locations on Yemen's west coast remain suspended, while key roads are restricted or impassable.

"We call on all parties to protect civilians, respect international humanitarian law and facilitate safe and unimpeded humanitarian access so that urgently needed assistance can reach communities in need," Haq said.
