North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has ordered the execution of 30 officials for their alleged failure to prevent flooding and landslides that claimed 1,000 lives, local media reported.

Around 20-30 leaders, charged with corruption and dereliction of duty, have been sentenced to capital punishment, TV Chosun reported, quoting a North Korean



official.

Similarly, 20-30 cadres in the flood-stricken area were executed at the same time late last month, the official told the television network.
