Kim blamed public officials who had neglected disaster prevention for causing “the casualty that cannot be allowed.”

The North has rebuffed offers of aid from China, Russia and even South Korea, with whom tensions remain at all-time highs.

Kim made a two-day tour of Uiju in early August to meet flood victims and discuss recovery efforts. While touring there, Kim was quoted by KCNA as accusing the South of exaggerating the extent of the damage from the floods, decrying it as a “smear campaign” and a “grave provocation” against his government.
