Typhoon No. 6 "Khanun" is expected to make landfall near Shanghai, China, maintaining a maximum wind speed of 18 m/s. Although the possibility of it directly affecting South Korea is low, its path is unstable, so close monitoring is necessary.

Accordingly, Mokpo Maritime Police held an internal situation assessment meeting to prevent typhoon damage through real-time tracking of the typhoon's course and proactive safety management.

The Maritime Police plans to strengthen emergency rescue readiness in preparation for the typhoon's northward movement, enhance safety patrols in vulnerable coastal areas such as ports, harbors, coastlines, and breakwaters, and inspect the mooring status of long-term moored vessels and high-risk ships.

In case of weather warnings, they will cooperate with related agencies according to relevant laws to control vessel departures, intensify distress communication monitoring, and continuously conduct navigation safety broadcasts.

A Mokpo Maritime Police official stated, "During the typhoon's approach, it is necessary to frequently check weather information and exercise special caution by avoiding access to breakwaters, rocky shores, and coastlines where surge waves and fall accidents are highly likely," and urged, "Fishermen and related personnel should actively participate in evacuation guidance and departure control."
