In the Kursk region, more than 20 North Korean soldiers were killed recently by snipers of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
During the repulsion of the assault, the losses of the North Korean military were:
- 21 eliminated;
- 40 wounded.
North Koreans' attack was repelled by operators of the 8th Regiment of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, infantrymen, and snipers.
“At the ninth hour of the battle, the Special Operations Forces group had only a third of their ammunition left. They spent the rest on destroying the North Koreans. The operators decided to exfil - a military tactic to quickly withdraw the group from the battlefield to a safe place. The fighters coordinated their exfil in two Humvees,” the Special Operations Forces wrote.
