North Korea builds memorial for troops killed in Ukraine war
AI Summary
North Korea has begun construction on a memorial for its soldiers killed fighting alongside Russian troops in Russia's war with Ukraine. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in Pyongyang, where North Korean leader Kim Jong Un praised his country's troops for helping Russia achieve a "decisive victory". A mutual defense pact between North and Russia obliges both countries to provide immediate military assistance using all necessary means if either faces aggression.

The memorial will feature sculptures, photos, and artwork dedicated to the fallen soldiers. Construction of the Memorial Museum of Combat Feats is expected to be completed soon.
