Pyongyang: North Korea on Thursday unveiled the wreckage of what appears to be a U.S. fighter jet that engaged in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. This revelation comes ahead of the country's 72nd anniversary of the armistice of the conflict.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the Rodong Sinmun, North Korea's most widely read newspaper, reported that the "wreckage of an enemy plane" is attracting visitors at the captured weapons hall of the Victory Museum of the Fatherland Liberation War in Pyongyang. Images and descriptions shared by the newspaper suggest that the wreckage is of a U.S. fighter jet from the Korean War.

The Rodong Sinmun stated that the wreckage was retrieved from the Yellow Sea last year. The images depict uniformed students examining the severely damaged wreckage displayed at the museum. The newspaper characterized the aircraft as an "enemy plane" shot down by the "wild firepower" of North Korea's armed forces after it circled the country's airspace since being deployed in July 1950.

In addition, the news outlet issued a cautionary message to "the descendants of U.S. invasionists," advising them to remember the lessons of the 1950s and refrain from "acting rashly." It also mentioned that there is still "ample space left in our captured weapons hall."

This report arrives as North Korea prepares to commemorate the 72nd Day of Victory on July 27, marking the signing of the 1953 armistice that ended the three-year Korean War. Leading up to the anniversary, North Korea typically intensifies its rhetoric against the U.S., which supported South Korea during the war, and portrays the armistice signing as a victory for North Korea.
