North Korea celebrates deaths of soldiers building greenhouses for Kim Jong Un

At least two North Korean soldiers died while working and living at a large-scale greenhouse farm construction site last year, state media revealed on Sunday, painting the deaths as a positive example of citizens sacrificing themselves to carry out leader Kim Jong Un’s orders.
