North Korea released water from a dam near its border with South Korea Wednesday morning without warning. No major injuries or damage have been reported from Wednesday’s opening of the Hwanggang Dam. South Korea moved residents along the Imjin River to higher ground. Officials are worried about flooding in areas already hit with heavy rain. South Korea said it does not believe that North Korea would take part in a “flooding attack.” But dam openings have taken place in the past. In 2009, North Korea released water from the dam without warning. That incident killed six South Koreans who were camping downstream. After that incident, North Korea agreed to tell South Korea before releasing water from the dam. But South Korea’s news agency said the North also opened the dam’sf loodgates two times in May without warning. No injuries were reported.
