nnTorrential rains in South Korea have caused severe flooding and landslides, resulting in at least 14 deaths and 12 people missing. The worst-hit area was the southern region, particularly Sancheong county, where six people died and seven remain missing. Thousands of roads and buildings were damaged, nearly 10,000 people evacuated, and over 41,000 households lost power. Although the rain has subsided in central and southern regions, northern areas including Seoul are still expecting heavy downpours. President Lee Jae-myung has declared special disaster zones in the most affected areas, and rescue operations continue amid forecasts of an incoming heatwave.
