Last update: 10 hours agoFlood Preparedness: North Korea is bracing for heavy monsoon rains and possible floods, with state media saying disaster-prevention work has been stepped up across key sites, including river dredging, retaining walls, and embankment reinforcement at the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex, plus landslide prevention and mine-site rearranging at Musan Mining.

North Korea Intelligence Expansion: Pyongyang ordered its main military intelligence bureau to expand missions against “potential enemies,” a step analysts say could broaden covert operations and cyber/electronic warfare capabilities.
