MIA Remains Found In North Korea
WASHINGTON – U.S. military specialists have recovered remains of American servicemen who went missing in action in the Korean War, the Pentagon announced Thursday.
The remains were discovered in two locations in North Korea. One recovery team operated near the Chosin Reservoir where the 7th Infantry Division fought Chinese forces November-December 1950. Approximately 1,000 Americans are missing in action from battles of the Chosin campaign.
The second team recovered remains in Unsan County about 60 miles north of Pyongyang. This area was the site of battles between communist forces and the U.S. Army’s 1st Cavalry Division and 25th Infantry Division in November 1950.Exactly how many sets of remains they have will be determined in forensic examinations at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. There have been 31 joint operations to recover remains in North Korea since 1996, during which remains believed to be those of more than 200 soldiers have been recovered.
Of the 88,000 U.S. service members missing in action from all conflicts, more than 8,100 are from the Korean War, the Pentagon said.
