President Yoon Suk Yeol visited the site of landslide damage and a shelter for displaced residents on Monday.

According to the presidential office, Yoon inspected the site of damage in Yecheon County, North Gyeongsang Province, after convening a meeting on response measures to rain-induced damage upon a return from his overseas trip earlier in the day.

There, the president checked up on the ongoing search and recovery efforts and also visited a temporary evacuation shelter to listen to the concerns of those who were forced to leave their homes.

At least nine people have died and eight remain missing in the southeastern county.
