North Korea plans to build 10,000 apartments for its Pyongyang residents this year, according to a report Tuesday, Yonhap News Agency said.
The move follows similar construction of 10,000 apartments in the city last year, the Choson Sinbo, a newspaper run by an association of North Korean residents in Japan, quoted a Pyongyang official as saying.
The plan includes mending cracks and worn-out parts of tens of thousands of existing apartments in Pyongyang, the report said, noting the city government last year completed repairing an unidentified number of apartments built before 1990.
