The remains of 43 Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) martyrs who lost their lives during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea are being returned to China from the Republic of Korea (ROK) on Thursday.

A Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force Y-20 transport aircraft carrying the remains and 495 artifacts will land in Shenyang City in northeast China's Liaoning Province later in the day.

It's the 11th repatriation of CPV martyrs' remains since the signing of a handover agreement between the two countries in 2014.

Almost 200,000 CPV soldiers were confirmed killed in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, with most interred on the Korean Peninsula.
