The U.S. still stations about 28,500 soldiers in South Korea in what North Korea views as a military threat. A South Korean war veteran salutes during a ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Korean War in Cheorwon. Seoul's Unification Ministry, which handles relations with North Korea, said there were no signs that North Korea had organized mass public events commemorating the anniversary. On Thursday, South Korea reported 28 new cases, taking the country's total to 12,563 with 282 deaths. North Korea has steadfastly claimed it hasn't recorded a single virus case, but foreign experts are highly skeptical.
