South Korea has invited 88 foreign veterans to a ceremony marking the 57th anniversary of the outbreak of the three-year war, which began on June 25, 1950. The United States and 15 other countries fought alongside South Korea under the U.N. flag against North Korean and Chinese troops.
Meanwhile, from North Korea, AP photographer Lee Jin-man offers a gallery of images of children in Pyongyang -- images that offer a rare glimpse inside a country that remains mostly cut off from the rest of the world, even more than a half-century after the Korean War began. Take a look at these photos in the attached asap gallery.
