Flooding has forced North Korea to cancel its mass games spectacle celebrating its military might and communist ideology.Reuters quotes Leonid Petrov, a specialist in arranging tours to North Korea, "The official reasons named by the North Korean tourism authorities are the recent torrential rains and the planned joint military drill 'Ulchi Focus Lens', which will be performed by the US and South Korean military forces".
North Korea normally objects to the annual joint drills, but has not previously cancelled the games because of them.
