    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.

    South Korea’s National Intelligence Service is closely monitoring the situation after getting intel related to the developments, a spokesperson at the spy agency said by phone, without giving further details. South Korea’s Unification Ministry handling relations with the North declined to comment.

  2. I don’t understand how anyone qualified would end up in high level positions in NK. When they very well know they most likely will be killed for their decisions .

  3. Anyway, the North Korea’s flood disaster prevention is a joke, the Yalu river is the border river between China and NK, but no flooding problem on Chinese side. That’s some major negligence, at best. I’d be angry if I’m Kim, and heads are gonna roll, but maybe they do it more literally.

  4. Is this like when his ex-girlfriend was executed, just to have her show up years later leading the Olympic delegation?

  5. This is all the fault of his predecessor too. Advertised himself as the greatest architect and built a dam that has fucked their country ever since. But can’t remove it or its against the former leader. So every year it floods

  6. It might not actually be true, of course. The south has a vested interest in painting the regime as psychotic, and nobody can prove otherwise.

    It’s probably a really nice place where people sit around in cafes and smoke weed all day, as profits from all the ginseng exports roll in. They probably all play croquet.

  7. This will totally incentivize the next guy to fix the problems and not just hide them and protect their own survival at the expense of everyone else /s

  8. Shouldn’t the guy who is responsible for everything, the fat fuck himself, follow right behind?
