The Hankyoreh Cartoon for September 7

The Hankyoreh's September 7 cartoon appears alongside a roundup of the newspaper's main stories.

The headlines include reports from Nepal, where recovery costs could reach 10 percent of gross domestic product and 20,000 homes may need rebuilding. They also report the rescue of another Chinese national from a tunnel, the continued disappearance of nine South Koreans at their workplace, and restrictions on a Korean rescue team's search in steep mountain terrain.

Domestic political coverage focuses on proposed police reforms, efforts to introduce location tracking for missing adults, disputes involving Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Seung-won and former Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon, and controversy over the nomination of Yong Hye-in. Other political headlines address possible deployment to the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's warning against South Korea responding to pressure from the United States.

The roundup also includes reports of fatal industrial accidents in Pohang, Ulsan, and at Hyundai Heavy Industries, a film based on five years documenting the daily lives of sexual violence survivors, and criminal cases involving domestic violence and the killing of a former partner.
