Floods and landslides from recent heavy rains have killed at least 121 people in North Korea and left another 127 missing, an International Red Cross official in Beijing told AFP Tuesday.

"The death toll in five counties, three of which are in Pyongyang, is 121 people," said Hope Weiner, an official with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Beijing.

"The number of people missing in those counties is 127. That is as of today. Those are the latest figures."
