North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered full state support for recovery efforts in the country's eastern Hamgyong Province, which was hit hard by a flood early this month.

According to the North's official Korean Central News Agency on Sunday, the South Hamgyong Provincial Military Commission of the ruling Workers' Party held an extended meeting on Thursday on the order of the party's Central Military Commission.

In the meeting, Ri Jong-nam, the party secretary of the province, reportedly conveyed the Central Military Commission's orders that military engineers will swiftly restore roads destroyed by the flood in the province and troops stationed in the province will be mobilized in recovery efforts.

Kim did not attend the meeting but instructed state provision of necessary materials and financial support for the recovery works.

In addition, the meeting unanimously adopted a decision to complete the recovery work by the founding anniversary of the party on October 10.

More than eleven-hundred homes were damaged or flooded, thousands of people evacuated, and farms and roads washed away after days of heavy rains in the province in early August.
