North Korean state television reported that heavy rains caused flooding in the east, causing more than 5,000 residents to evacuate and farmland to be flooded.
North Korea's state-owned Korean Central Television reported on the night of the 5th that a heavy rain on South Gyeongsangnam-do in the east caused a flood from the 1st to the 2nd of this month and the embankment broke.
The video shows the house submerged near the roof and the bridge collapsed.
In addition to the flooding, more than 5,000 residents were evacuated, and the farmland was flooded and filled with earth and sand.
Meteorological authorities are calling for measures to prevent the damage from spreading as heavy rain is expected toward the beginning of this month.
In North Korea, typhoons landed one after another last year and severely damaged agricultural products, and General Secretary Kim Jung-eun said at a meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea in June, "Last year's typhoon damage prevented grain production plans from being achieved. The food situation is imminent now, "he admitted to the food shortage.
Therefore, it is expected that the flood damage will have a further impact on food security.
