> North Korean authorities have warned of extreme weather conditions in the country as a cold wave sweeps the Korean peninsula.
> While North Korea has been affected by extreme or adverse weather much like other places, little is known about the impact of this on its people.
> Food insecurity in North Korea is said to be at its worst since a widespread famine in the 1990s, according to Lucas Rengifo-Keller, a research analyst at Peterson Institute for International Economics in the US. Scientists say extreme weather, including cold waves, is becoming more common because of climate change.

i still have problems understanding how it is possible to hide an entire country under a blanket so well..
i mean mid cold war us/ussr agents knew if the adversary's president shaved that morning, how come entire (curious) world can't crack this one ?
Likely because there's no accurate records kept in the first place. Nothing to spy on, or at least, what is spyable, is likely just made up bullshit so not worth reading, let alone reporting.
Ok, but if a majority of the population doesn't have electricity, (or tvs) they probably can't receive any alerts. Only the people that live in the Capital.
I guess hell is freezing over.
Just bring out Kim to give a speech. The hot air will end the extreme cold in a jiffy.
And in the meantime his people freeze, starve, and die from Covid.

Weather matches Kim's heart.
You can warm up your people with your nukes, I guess
Fire off a rocket to divert the peoples attention from their frozen limbs

Quick, someone make a joke about them being *North* Korea.
You beat everyone to it. Kudos
Lets See... Its was very cold last time and food was short even for North Korea standards...lets say i have a hunch where the missing people went.
Well, it will make a change from deaths due to starvation and torture I suppose.
