Seoul said that Pyongyang suddenly discharged from a dam near the border when North Korea was in heavy rain, but the move was less likely to cause damage in Korea.

Due to heavy rain in North Korea, North Korea is constantly opening and closing the flood doors of Hwanggang dam.

According to the official, North Korea did not inform the dam.

Under the inter -Korean agreement signed in October 2009, North Korea will notify South Korea in advance about the dam to flush the dam.

North Korea does not respond to the suggestion.

The South Korea's unified official said that up to the present time, the possibility of flushing causing damage in Korea is still low, but the situation is being closely monitored due to the forecast of heavy rainfall in the first two days of the week in the week.

Typically, it takes 4-5 hours to escape from the dam on the upstream of the Imjin River to Gunnam Dam in the Border town of Yeoncheon of Korea, 62 km north of Seoul.
