김정은, 태풍 피해 황해도 시찰…"피해 예상보다 적어 다행"
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is reportedly relieved Typhoon Bavi that recently swept both Koreas caused minimal damage.
The regime's state-run mouthpiece the Korean Central News Agency reported Friday that Kim toured the typyoon-hit Hwanghaenam-do Province and said it was extremely fortunate the storm didn't cause much damage.
The agency also reported that Kim praised the nation's emergency control system as well as its ability to deal with natural disasters.
Kim also called for all efforts be poured into minimizing damage to agriculture.
No exact date of his trip has been confirmed, but given that the typhoon passed North Korea early Thursday,... it is likely Kim visited the region later that day.
