In this Friday, July 21, 2017, photo, Maj. Jong Il Hyon, 44, a member of a bomb squad for South Hamgyong, speaks to The Associated Press at a construction site on the outskirts of Hamhung, North Korea's second-largest city, where workers unearthed a rusted but still potentially deadly mortar round in February. Over the years, Maj. Jong Il Hyon, a 10-year veteran, has lost five colleagues to explosions. He carries a lighter one gave him before he died. He also bears a scar on his left cheek from a bomb disposal mission gone wrong. (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E)
