The soldiers of the 8th Regiment of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine organized a “warm welcome” for the North Korean military, who are stationed in the Kursk region of Russia.
During the three days of combat operations, Ukrainian special forces eliminated 50 North Korean servicemen and wounded 47 more.
In addition to Russia's manpower, the Special Operations Forces operators destroyed 2 units of Russian armored vehicles, 2 cars, and an ATV.
The fighting continues. Ukrainian special forces continue to inflict new losses on Russian and North Korean troops.
North Korean soldiers in Russian army
North Korea is actively supporting Russia in the war against Ukraine by providing military assistance and sending its soldiers to the front.
The United States has confirmed the presence of North Korean soldiers in the Russian army and stated that their participation in the fighting makes them legitimate targets for the Ukrainian military. Therefore, such actions will be seen as an escalation of Russia's war against Ukraine.
The Pentagon reported cases of North Korean soldiers killed in the Kursk region. However, there is no detailed information on the number of North Korean soldiers killed.
The Ukrainian military published a video with possibly the first North Korean soldiers killed in the war against Ukraine. However, again, the total losses among North Korean soldiers may be higher.
Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, spoke about how Russia began using North Korean soldiers.
