North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has condemned South Korean media outlets for "fabricating" the scale of damage from recent floods in his country, state media reported Saturday, in his first public reaction to the South over the downpours. The North's border city of Sinuiju and Uiju County in North Phyongan Province were recently pummeled by heavy rains. South Korean media outlets have reported that the number of those who died or went missing could exceed about 1,000. Kim said that South Korea's "garbage" media outlets have spread "fabricated" news about the North's latest flood damage, according to the Korean Central News Agency. Calling South Korea an "unchangeable" enemy, Kim said the South has been focused on tarnishing North Korea's image and staging "wicked" propaganda against Pyongyang, the report said.
