Kim Jong Un Executes Officials After Deadly Floods, Media Says

North Korea executed multiple government officials after extensive flooding in late July killed thousands in the country’s northern region, according to a TV Chosun report.

Around 20 to 30 regional government officials in the flood-stricken area were shot last month, TV Chosun said, citing an unidentified South Korean government official. The devastating floods may have killed up to a few thousand people in the most-hit area in Jagang province, the cable TV reported.
