Kim Jong Un Executes Officials Over Flood Mismanagement

North Korean leader orders execution of 20-30 officials following catastrophic floods that killed thousands and displaced many more.

Executions reportedly took place late last month, according to South Korean media.
Officials were charged with corruption and dereliction of duty.
Flooding in Chagang Province resulted in approximately 4,000 deaths and displaced over 15,000 people.
Kim Jong Un dismissed reports of high death tolls as South Korean propaganda.
Public executions in North Korea have surged since the COVID-19 pandemic.
