Kim Jong Un inspects flood recovery in third visit to affected areas since July

Tour of home reconstruction underlines leader’s push to show concern for victims and divert blame for disaster

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected efforts to reconstruct homes destroyed by summer floods on Sunday, according to state media, framing the relief work as part of a broader regional development push.

The tour of the construction site marks Kim’s third public visit to the country’s far northwest in just two months, a frequency that underscores the high priority he has placed on demonstrating his personal efforts to care for flood victims and diverting blame for the disaster.
