Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- The fact that traitor Syngman Rhee of south Korea hurled even minors under 17 into shambles of the Korean War was disclosed recently.

This was made known recently by information available from the Ministry of Defense of south Korea.

According to it, Syngman Rhee pressganged many minors into the puppet army during the war. Their number reached 29 597, counting only those disclosed so far. Among them were girls.

As the confirmation is not yet over, the number of minors is believed to be much more than that.

This information was confirmed through various services, the Military Service Agency and the Ministry of Administration and Security while the military book compiling research institution under the puppet Ministry of Defense was compiling the "History of boy and girl volunteers' participation in the June 25 war".

With no rhetoric can the traitors conceal their criminal acts of offering even minors as cannon fodder for war started by the U.S. imperialist aggressors for their frantic confrontation with compatriots.
