The tragedy of the Korean War, which began on June 25, 1950, with a surprise attack by the North Korean army that had been preparing for a long time. The first modern war on the Korean Peninsula and the last war that should have been. Today, in 2016, the war is clearly a thing of the past that has long since ended, but the pain caused by the division of the North and the South continues to this day. What was the history of that day that we must not forget? The armistice agreement was signed on July 27, 1953, but the conflict between the South and the North did not disappear. And as of 2016, the number of separated families scattered between the South and the North has reached 8.5 million. Even after the war, landmines buried in the DMZ continue to harm soldiers and civilians. However, because landmines are dangerous to remove, research on robots that detect landmines is also ongoing. The North's continued provocations. In particular, on June 29, 2002, North Korea started the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong in retaliation for the defeat in the First Battle of Yeonpyeong. Also, on November 23, 2010, the North Korean military fired artillery shells at Yeonpyeong Island, which was the cause of the Yeonpyeong Island bombardment incident. The Korean War is over, but the tragedy continues even now. We must not forget that the peace we have today is preserved because of someone's sacrifice and effort. When we remember the pain of that day, won't there be a better future? [YTN Science original article] http://www.ytnscience.co.kr/program/p...
