Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- Remains of more than 10 martyrs have been recently buried in the Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery in Sinmi-ri on the outskirts of Pyongyang City.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un made sure that the martyrs are always remembered by people for their dedication to the country and the revolution.

Among them is DPRK Hero Yun Guk Hyon, former general officer of the Korean People's Army.

He, with his absolute loyalty to the leader, devoted his all efforts to developing the country's defense industry, remaining boundlessly faithful to the cause of the Party till the last moments of his life.

Among the martyrs are Ri Song Guk, former KPA general officer who reliably defended the Party, revolution and socialism as a military man for decades, and Jong Ho Gyun, former artillery commander of the KPA who dedicated his whole life to strengthening the artillery force.

They also include Choe Thae Guk, Pak Wan Gyu and Kim Yong Dal, former unconverted long-term prisoners who struggled for decades to preserve their faith and obligations as revolutionary fighters.

Jon Gyong Son, former chairman of the Party committee at the Namhung Youth Chemical Complex, and People's Actor Choe Chang Su, former head of the movie actors group of the Korean Film Studio, are enjoying immortality, remembered by the country and people.

In addition, the remains of Kwon Yong Rok, Jon Phyong Hak and Ri Jae Won have been buried in the cemetery. -0-
