Kim Jong Un, the president of North Korea has ordered for the execution of 30 government officials.
The order came following the devastating summer floods that occurred in some parts of the country that claimed thousands of lives.
South Korea’s TV Chosun reported on Tuesday that North Korean authorities sentenced between 20 and 30 individuals to death last month for failing to prevent the deadly flooding.
The report went on to state that due to the North’s extreme secrecy, details are hard to confirm, but the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that Kim instructed authorities to “strictly punish” officials after devastating floods struck Chagang Province, near the Chinese border, in July.
