[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 9 'Maysak', heavy rain caused the downtown area of Wonsan, a major city in Gangwon Province, North Korea, to be completely submerged.

On the 3rd at around 6 a.m., Korean Central TV broadcast live footage of the flooded downtown Wonsan. The roads in downtown Wonsan were completely covered with muddy water, transforming into a large river-like scene, and the apartments, the Juche Tower building surrounding the wide square, and the street trees were all surrounded by water.

Wonsan, a major tourist city in North Korea, turned into a 'sea of water' because it fell under the influence of Typhoon Maysak and received 132mm of rain in just three hours.

The broadcast reported, "The characteristic of Typhoon No. 9 is that the rainfall is heavier than the wind," adding, "From 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. in Wonsan, a heavy downpour of 132mm concentrated, and the total rainfall from 9 p.m. on the 2nd to 6 a.m. on the 3rd reached 200mm."
