North Korean TV pulls all-nighter covering Typhoon Khanun, warns of flooding

KCTV correspondents dispatched across the country to report on storm in a move not seen since 2020

The weather segments on Korean Central Television (KCTV) frequently interrupted coverage of the FIFA Women's World Cup in an apparent attempt to keep the public alert, highlighting the seriousness of the storm.
