Two months after severe storms washed away homes and bridges in the northeast region of North Korea, new home construction for flood victims appears underway in at least six counties, according to NK News analysis of the latest satellite imagery. 

State media has focused mostly on reconstruction work in Sinhung county and a few other spots in South Hamgyong province, but satellite imagery shows relief efforts at a former rocket launch site and other towns in North Hamgyong province as well.

Overall, the scale of damage and reconstruction from the August storms appears smaller than in 2020 and previous years.
