North Korea suffers worst drought in decades
North Korea has said it is suffering its worst drought in 37 years and called on its citizens to "battle" against the crop damage caused by it.
It comes after the UN said that up to 10 million North Koreans were "in urgent need of food assistance".
North Koreans had been surviving on just 300g (10.5 oz) of food a day so far this year, the UN report said.
In the 1990s, a devastating famine is believed to have killed hundreds of thousands of North Koreans.
