South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol looks around a flood damaged area in Yecheon, South Korea, Monday, July 17, 2023.SEOUL, South Korea — in landslides, buckled homes and swamped vehicles in the most destructive storm to hit the country this year.
In the central city of Cheongju, hundreds of rescue workers, including divers, continued to search for survivors in a muddy tunnel where about 15 vehicles, including a bus, got trapped in a flash flood that may have filled up the passageway within minutes Saturday evening. As of Monday afternoon, rescue workers had pumped out most of the water from the tunnel and were searching the site on foot, a day after they used rubber boats to move and transport bodies on stretchers.
