Pyongyang, August 10 (KCNA) -- Typhoon-9 left more than ten people dead or wounded and over 240 dwelling houses destroyed throughout the DPRK from Sunday evening to Tuesday, according to results of a survey.

Strong winds and heavy rainfalls seriously damaged some 25 800 hectares of standing crop in South and North Hwanghae provinces, major grain producers of the country, South Hamgyong Province and other areas and destroyed scores of public buildings.

Over ten bridges were broken and some 4 000 roadside trees fell down, making it difficult to transport relief goods and materials to the afflicted areas.
