N. Korea's Kim faces 'huge dilemma' on aid as virus surges

AP News SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ??" During more than a decade as North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un has made "self-reliance" his governing lynchpin, shunning international help and striving instead for domestic strategies to fix his battered economy.

But as an illness suspected to be COVID-19 sickens hundreds of thousands of his people, Kim stands at a critical crossroad: Either swallow his pride and receive foreign help to fight the disease, or go it alone, enduring potential huge fatalities that may undermine his leadership.

"Kim Jong Un is in a dilemma, a really huge...

From civilian to soldier: Ukrainian army volunteer buried

AP News ZORYA TRUDA, Ukraine (AP) ??" The countryside was in full bloom when Iuliia Loseva buried her husband in the village cemetery near her home. On her knees in the grass, she bowed her head over the open coffin and kissed him one last goodbye before they lowered him into his grave.

There was a military band, and a six-gun salute. His teenage sons, pale and stunned, walked behind their father's coffin holding framed photographs of him in his camouflage uniform.

New Zealand shooting survivor says violence achieved nothing

AP News WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) ??" If the Buffalo supermarket shooter had learned anything from the massacre in New Zealand that apparently inspired him, it should have been that the violence didn't achieve any of the gunman's aims, a survivor said Tuesday.

Temel Atacocugu was shot nine times when a white supremacist opened fire during Friday prayers at two mosques in Christchurch three years ago, killing 51 worshippers and severely injuring dozens more.

Atacocugu continues to recover from the gunshot wounds in his mouth, left arm and both legs.

One of the...

Massacre video reopens wounds for missing Syrians' families

AP News BEIRUT (AP) ??" For years, the Siyam family clung to hope they would one day be reunited with their son Wassim, who they believed was being held in a Syrian government prison after he went missing at a checkpoint nearly a decade ago.

That hope evaporated the moment they saw him in a newly leaked video: He was among dozens of blindfolded, bound men who, one by one, were shot and thrown into a trench by Syrian security agents.

"It shocked us to our core," Siham Siyam said of the gruesome video, which was taken in 2013 and emerged late last month.

"They killed...

Ukraine mounts effort to rescue last fighters at steel mill

AP News KYIV, Ukraine (AP) ??" Efforts were underway Tuesday to rescue the last of the defenders inside the Azovstal steel plant in the ruined city of Mariupol after Ukrainian officials said the fighters had "completed their mission" and there was no way to free the plant by military means.

The Ukrainian military avoided using the term "surrender" to describe the effort to pull out of the steel plant to save as many lives as possible. Officials planned to keep trying to save an unknown number of fighters who stayed behind. It was unclear if soldiers evacuated to Russian-controlled areas...
