Typhoon Bavi recovery: Super Typhoon Bavi has weakened to Category 4 and moved away from the Marianas, but Guam and CNMI are still in cleanup mode with dangerous surf and lingering hazards. Guam transitioned from storm readiness into recovery, while CNMI declared an all-clear for Saipan, Tinian, Rota, Alamagan, Agrihan and Pagan effective Tuesday noon, with officials stressing no complacency on damaged roads, power lines, and flooding. Ports and navigation: The U.S. Coast Guard is still assessing aids to navigation and channels in Guam and the Marianas, including hazards found at Apra Harbor, as crews work toward reopening ports safely. Telecom restoration: Guam telecom providers began network assessments after Bavi’s closest approach, with teams evaluating damage and restarting core infrastructure as power returns. Regional security tensions: China carried out a rare submarine-launched long-range missile test in the South Pacific, drawing sharp condemnation from Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., and others over destabilizing and nuclear-capable implications, while China called it routine and said countries were informed in advance. Community closure: A WWII Marine Corps radio-gunner whose plane crashed on Yap Island was laid to rest after decades, with DNA identification bringing long-awaited closure for family members.
