North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has expressed strong dissatisfaction with officials for their failure to prevent damage caused by Tropical Storm Khanun, which swept through the Korean peninsula recently. The storm, which initially hit Japan, moved towards North Korea, bringing heavy rains and posing a threat due to the nation's weak infrastructure and vulnerability to flooding.


Visiting flooded farmlands in Anbyon County, Kim Jong Un blamed local officials' "irresponsible work attitude" for making the situation worse. He noted that state steps to lessen the storm's impact were not put into effect, hence more severe damage occurred than in other locations.

North Korea had launched an effort to mitigate the effects of the unusual weather and protect economic output despite the impending storm. Food shortages and agricultural concerns were discussed at a high-level party meeting earlier in the year, and the country has a history of famine.


Because of its isolation and economic hardships, North Korea has historically been hit harder by natural disasters. The country is prone to flooding and other environmental vulnerabilities due to its undeveloped infrastructure and issues like deforestation. Protecting its people and its resources from such threats requires a strong response from the government.
