Reports Emerge of Execution of 20-30 North Korean Officials Over Flood Mishandling

Seoul (News Desk): Reports have surfaced regarding the execution of 20 to 30 government officials, including the former secretary of the provincial committee of North Korea’s ruling party, for failing to take precautionary measures before the floods.

According to South Korea’s intelligence agency and media reports, they have received such indications. It is believed that 20 to 30 officials were executed on the orders of North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong-un had previously announced in an emergency meeting of the ruling party that those responsible for the failure to implement flood protection measures would be severely punished.

The devastating floods in North Korea in July 2024 resulted in 1,500 people being killed or reported missing, while thousands of homes were destroyed. However, media reports indicate that there is no official confirmation from North Korea regarding the executions, and the news has not been independently verified.
