Ukrainian Strikes Target Possible North Korean Troops in Kursk
Recent Ukrainian artillery strikes have reportedly targeted facilities potentially housing North Korean military personnel in russia’s Kursk region, according to EL PAÍS. The source of the information, the State Border guard, stated that Ukrainian forces launched these strikes on October 26.
The presence of North Korean troops in the area is believed to bolster russian military strength in Kursk region by up to 25%. EL PAÍS reports that russia has deployed approximately 40,000 troops to defend the region, with half of these being new recruits with limited combat experience. North Korean soldiers have reportedly been added to strengthen these ranks.
This deployment could allow russia to redirect troops to other frontlines, potentially prolonging its combat capabilities in ongoing conflicts.
