According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, on the 9th and 10th, it will rain in most areas of the country due to the influence of the pressure trough and stagnant front, and very strong rain accompanied by gusts, thunder and lightning is expected in some areas.

The Central Disaster Prevention and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters asked the relevant agencies to strengthen surveillance in areas of concern for collapse and to make every effort to respond to river water levels in the border area as heavy rainfall is expected in North Korea. Han Chang-seop, head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters (vice minister of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security) emphasized, “Please refrain from approaching valleys, beaches, and riversides on weekends, and actively cooperate according to guidance such as disaster text messages and village broadcasts sent in case of danger.” Reporter Son Ji-min sjm@hani.co.kr
