북한도 폭풍 대비: 북한, "태풍 '바비', 내일 오전 9시 평양 최대 근접"

Typhoon Bavi is expected to hit North on Thursday morning as well.
The North is still trying to recover from this summer's massive floods.
Hong Yoo explains how the regime is preparing.
Typhoon Bavi is expected to hit the North Korean capital Pyeongyang on Thursday at around 9 AM.
By the time it hits Pyeongyang, South Korea’s meteorological administration says the storm will be fully developed.
The North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency reported Wednesday that the typhoon is expected to worsen the damage caused by the heavy rain early this month.
The regime’s leader Kim Jong-un held a politburo meeting on Tuesday to discuss measures to minimize the damage and to strengthen the regime’s measures against the pandemic.
Kim said that the ruling Workers’ Party has a responsibility to take care of its people by preventing casualties when the typhoon hits and to minimize damage to farmland.
He also ordered that loopholes be closed in the regime's disease prevention.
This was the seventh politburo meeting this year.
At each one, Kim Jong-un has sought to portray himself as a benevolent and responsible leader by taking on crises such as flooding, typhoons and COVID-19.
North Korea’s state-run newspaper, the Rodong Sinmun, said Wednesday that all Party members should get out of their offices and work actively to prevent damage from Typhoon Bavi.
They should also preemptively inspect areas likely to be damaged and alert residents to possible dangers.
