The U.S. military has identified the first two American troops from 55 boxes of human remains from the 1950-53 Korean War that North Korea handed over in July, the agency leading the analysis said on Monday.
The identities are expected to be officially announced in the coming days after the troops’ relatives are informed.
The identifications will chip away at the 7,699 U.S. troops who the U.S. military says remain unaccounted for from the Korean War.
