South Korea searches for missing people as death toll from downpours reach 41

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Rescuers are continuing their searches for about 10 people still missing in landslides and other incidents caused by a week of torrential rains in South Korea. The heavy downpour that began pounding South Korea on July 9 has so far left 41 people dead, nine missing and 35 others injured. During a Cabinet Council meeting Tuesday, President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered officials to mobilize all available resources to rescue any possible additional survivors and assist victims. The Defense Ministry says that it was sending 11,000 soldiers and 250 equipment to support government efforts to find the missing people and restore damages.
