Remains of DPRK twice hero Kim Ki U and DPRK heroes Ri Yong Je and Ri Tong Gyu were interred at the Fatherland Liberation War Martyrs Cemetery in Pyongyang on the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the war victory.
Kim Ki U, who was possessed of the Juche-oriented art of war advanced by President Kim Il Sung, shot down more than ten enemy planes while acting as a member of an aircraft-hunting team in the life-and-death battles against the US imperialists. So he became a twice hero of the DPRK at the age of 18, which startled the world people.
Ri Yong Je shot down six enemy planes by applying the experience in the anti-aircraft struggle and the original method of hunting enemy planes which were taught by the President.
Ri Tong Gyu was a war correspondent and war writer hero who instilled into the soldiers the will to annihilate the enemy and the confidence in victory by honourably participating in the Fatherland Liberation War.
Ceremonies for burying the remains of the martyrs took place at the cemetery on July 20.
The martyrs' remains were buried with the remains of their wives.
Interred in the graves of martyrs Pak Jong Sik, Kil Chang Nyon, Song Kun Chul, Ri Hyong Won, Kang To Song, Sim Chol Bong, Kim Yo Hong, So Il Gyong, Ryang Kwan Ok, Kim Kwang Ok, Han Song Chon, Pae Man Gi, Jon Si U, Pak Pyong Hun, U In Sop, Pak Chan Su, Jong Ji Son and Kim Yong Sik were the remains of their wives.
The participants in the ceremonies laid bouquets before the graves of the martyrs and paid silent tribute to the memory of them.
