Kim Jong Un visited Pyongyang's Liberation Tower with his wife and daughter to mark 81 years since Korea's liberation from Japanese rule, paying tribute to Soviet soldiers who fought Japan in World War II.⁣ ⁣ From 1910 to 1945, the Korean peninsula was ruled by imperial Japanese forces as a colony. ⁣ ⁣ Hundreds of thousands of Korean men were involuntarily moved to Japan as forced laborers, while a potentially similar number of Korean females were forced into sexual slavery under the euphemism 'comfort women'.⁣ ⁣ The Soviet Union is estimated to have suffered more than 30,000 casualties in its military actions against Japan, including almost 10,000 deaths.⁣ ⁣ #NorthKorea #KimJongUn #Russia #Pyongyang #WWII #Japan
