국방부, 오늘부터 후반기 6.25 전사자 유해발굴 착수
The number of remains from the Korean War that have been recovered has dramatically increased thanks to the government's excavation project initiated this year... including the project on Arrowhead Ridge,... the site of one of the war's fiercest battles, which is located inside the Demilitarized Zone.
After a month-long hiatus, the ministry says the second half of the excavation project will start today.
Seoul's defense ministry said that 457 bone pieces were recovered in the five months leading up to July -- that's a little more than double the previous year.
The ministry asked for public support and participation in collecting DNA samples to identify the remain's origins so that they could be sent to their families.
