A tropical depression east of the Philippines is expected to enter the South China Sea in the next two to three days and could strengthen into a storm.
For nearly a day, typhoon Koto has moved slowly, maintaining category 9 strength, and is forecast to weaken into a tropical depression off the coast of Gia Lai - Dak Lak.
Appearing off the coast of the Philippines late in the storm season, a tropical depression could become the 15th storm in the South China Sea in the coming days.
