MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Typhoon Lionrock struck North Korea in early September, with the heavy rain causing tens of thousands of homes and public buildings to collapse and leaving at least 138 people dead and about 400 missing.
"More than 179 metric tons of the foodstuffs and over 700 metric tons of diesel fuel were shipped to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by rail transport," the ministry said.
Around 70,000 people lost their homes right before the beginning of a cold season.
