Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - A photo that shows Pyongyang residents suffering from heavy rain has been digitally altered, the Associated Press said in a letter to editors and other subscribers.
The news agency asked them to immediately eliminate the photo from their system and archives.
"The content of this image has been digitally altered and does not accurately reflect the scene," the news agency said in a statement titled "Photo Kill".
The photo taken Friday, July 15, was released Saturday, July 16, by the Korean Central News Agency via Korea News Service, the AP said.
The photo shows residents wading through a flooded street in North Korea's capital city.
North Korea said heavy rain flooded farmland, destroyed homes and caused some deaths.
