THE United States is a “wrecker of human civilisation,” the state-affiliated Korea Central News Agency reported yesterday in an article detailing the destruction during the Korean war.
During the 1950-53 conflict, which split the country in two, Washington’s forces destroyed six museums, including the State Central History Museum, the article stated.
The article said that historical data was burned while 6,709 cultural relics were plundered, and US troops looted the museums.
