North Korea held a welcoming ceremony for engineer troops who completed a mine clearance mission in Russia's Kursk region amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Leader Kim Jong-un honored the unit by awarding medals while mourning the loss of nine personnel. The troops returned after 120 days since their deployment in early August.
Lt. Gen. Michael Wright, commander of the Canadian Army, said in a Yonhap News Agency interview that the partnership between South Korea and Canada, forged during the Korean War, is growing stronger amid deepening military cooperation. He visited Gapyeong for the 75th anniversary of a key battle there. Troops from both nations began high-tech drills ahead of the event.
