SEOUL: Torrential rains that have slammed Southern Korea’s capital, Seoul , diminished upon Wednesday (Aug 10) after killing at least nine people and damaging about two, 800 homes and other buildings.
More rain had been forecast for Wednesday, but less than the particular heavy downpours upon Monday and Tuesday that submerged a few streets and buildings, trapping people in flooded apartments and stranding cars.
At least five individuals had been killed within Seoul as of earlier Wednesday, as well as three in the neighbouring Gyeonggi Province and one within Gangwon Province, based on the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.
At least 17 people have been hurt, and seven are missing.
Water damage in some buildings around the glitzy Gangnam district continued on Wednesday, while subway channels and several roads right now there had been blocked.
Data showed a minimum of 2, 800 public and private services had been damaged across South Korea, and much more than 1, a hundred households had been displaced. Most highways plus subway lines had been cleared by Wednesday.
