North Korea reported using military helicopters to evacuate over 5,000 people from severe flooding near the Chinese border in the country's northwest.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the military rescues on Sunday, during which residents were evacuated from Sinuiju city and Uiju town.
