Preliminary testing revealed the remains appear to be those of Korean War combatants, and were likely American, according to John Byrd, an anthropologist at the DPAA.

He called it one of the "largest unilateral turnovers" of remains ever received from North Korea.

"The remains are consistent with remains that we have recovered in North Korea through our own recovery efforts in the past," said Byrd.

"There's no reason at this point to doubt that they do relate to Korean War losses."
Byrd confirmed earlier reports that only one dog tag was returned with the potential remains. He said the family of that service member has been notified and will receive the dog tag "in the coming weeks."
