Korean War Armistice: What happened between two Koreas 70 years ago?
South Korea and North Korea are now two countries — different from one another. The two function differently due to cultural and political differences that have not always existed. For better understanding, let's revisit history — the conflict took place on July 25, 1950, which resulted in the killing of masses, mostly innocents, however, the fight ended on July 27, 1953. But technically the South and North continue to remain at war with the signing of the Korean War Armistice that turned into the world’s longest ceasefire – over seven decades now.

Russia and North Korea forge closer ties amid shared isolation
Russia's defence minister was photographed this week viewing banned North Korean ballistic missiles with leader Kim Jong Un at a military expo in Pyongyang, signalling deeper ties between the two countries as they face off with the United States. As Russia's isolation over its war in Ukraine has grown, it has seen increasing value in North Korea. For North Korea's part, relations with Russia haven't always been as warm as they were during the heady days of the Soviet Union, but now the country is reaping clear benefits from Moscow's need for friends.
