Dozens of officials executed in North Korea after floods

About 30 officials have been executed in North Korea on orders from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The massacre is linked to massive flooding that killed thousands of people in the north of the country in July.

At that time, North Korean media published photographs of Kim Jong-un in the affected areas, reporting that he was personally leading the rescue efforts. At the same time, the head of state declared the need to punish those who neglected their duty, allowing many victims.

South Korean TV Chosun reported that the province most affected by the flooding was Chagando, on the border with China. About 5,000 houses were damaged, 3.3 thousand hectares of agricultural land were flooded. 5,000 people were rescued.
