The remains of 10 Chinese soldiers killed in the 1950-53 Korean War were returned home Wednesday from the Republic of Korea (ROK). 

A plane carrying the remains and the belongings of the fallen soldiers landed Wednesday noon at Taoxian International Airport in Shenyang City, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province.

These remains will be buried at the Cemetery of Revolutionary Martyrs in Shenyang on Thursday.

It is the sixth batch of remains of Chinese soldiers returned following a handover agreement signed by the two countries at the end of 2013. From 2014 to 2018, the remains of 589 soldiers were returned to China.
