A cyclone warning has prompted the closure of key ports in Western Australia's Pilbara region, including Dampier, Ashburton, Varanus Island, and Cape Preston West. As Tropical Cyclone Sean forms off the coast, the Pilbara Ports Authority has taken precautions to ensure safety. The iron ore-rich region is a critical hub for Australia's mining industry, and the closure may impact global commodity markets. With the tropical low-pressure system intensifying, residents and businesses are on high alert. The situation is being closely monitored, with updates on the cyclone's trajectory and potential impact on the region's economy and mining operations.
