North Korea returns remains of U.S. soldiers from Korean War

A U.S. military plane left North Korea on Thursday carrying the remains of U.S. troops killed decades ago in the Korean War, the White House confirmed.

The Air Force C-17 aircraft left the city of Wonsan and is en route to Osan Air Base in South Korea, located roughly 43 miles south of Seoul, said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.
