A Russian unit suffered significant casualties after getting caught in the crossfire from an allied strike by their new North Korean partners.
According to Western intelligence, Pyongyang has sent 12,000 soldiers to Russia as Vladimir Putin seeks to reinforce his army, which has been severely depleted after over two years of fighting.
Ukrainian intelligence reports that 3,000 North Korean soldiers have already been deployed to Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukraine still controls several locations.
Ukrainian forces recently captured a fleeing Russian soldier whose unit was reportedly targeted by North Korean troops.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has called on North Korean soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender.
In a video posted on social media by Ukraine’s military intelligence, the Russian soldier said: “They brought in 10 Koreans and sent us to the forest to dig trenches. They give all the warm clothing and food to Koreans. During the assault, the Koreans started firing at us. We tried to explain where to aim, but I think they shot two of our own.”
