"The record for heavy rains on Saturday, July 27, in Sinuiju, North Korea and the surrounding area bordering China has isolated around 5,000 people," KCNA said.
The military arranged about 10 planes to make about 20 trips each to evacuate 4,200 people in half a day.
Kim praised the military for the evacuation efforts, which he said had saved 5,000 lives.
