Kim Jong Un orders execution of top officials after flood kills 4,000

The executions, which took place in late August, were reportedly carried out on charges of corruption and dereliction of duty.

Kim expressed outrage over what he described as an “unacceptable loss” of life and called for strict punishment for those responsible.

Among those dismissed from office was Kang Bong-hoon, a prominent provincial leader. The identities of other executed officials remain undisclosed.
