North Korea ramps up nuclear threat despite 64 years of peace after Korean War

On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when 135,000 North Korean soldiers poured across the 38th parallel into South Korea. The U.S. ordered troops to aid South Korea, while China later sent troops to North Korea. On July 27, 1953, the Korean War ended with an armistice agreement signed by North Korea, China and the UN. This year marks the 64th anniversary of the Korean War. Jul 28, 2017
