Typhoon Maysak hits North Korea, bringing heavy rain, floods

The fourth to hit the Korean peninsula this year, Typhoon Maysak is expected to affect most of North and South Korea.

For a second week in a row, North Korea’s state TV carried overnight reports showing flooding and heavy rains across various regions of the country.

North Korea’s agriculture sector is particularly vulnerable to severe weather, and this summer’s storms and floods have raised concern’s over the country’s already tenuous food situation.
