Heavy rainfalls render 17,000 North Koreans homeless
SEOUL, Aug. 15 (Yonhap) -- Hundreds of people were killed or missing in North Korea in heavy downpours that battered the impoverished communist country last week, a North Korean official said in a report on Wednesday.
The downpours, which flooded even the center of its capital, Pyongyang, and wide sections of the country's western region, also left about 17,000 people homeless, said the official from Pyeongan Province in a report carried by Pyongyang Radio.
