North Korea opens housing area for families of soldiers killed overseas

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has unveiled a new housing district in Pyongyang for families of soldiers killed in overseas conflicts, coinciding with the country’s support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. The housing project, named Saeppyol Street, was inaugurated by Kim, who expressed hope that it would provide comfort to the families of fallen soldiers. Pyongyang has reportedly dispatched soldiers to Ukraine under a mutual defence pact with Moscow, with estimates suggesting casualties among North Korean forces. The move comes amid North Korea’s continued support for Russia, including military assistance and supplies in exchange for technical expertise and resources.
