Ukrainian artillerymen have already struck several buildings where North Korean soldiers could have been. This happened in the Kursk region.

This was reported by a target="_blank" href=https://elpais.com/internacional/2024-10-29/ee-uu-asegura-que-10000-soldados-de-corea-del-norte-combatiran-en-las-proximas-semanas-en-la-region-rusa-de-kursk.html>El Pais, citing a representative of the State Border Service of Ukraine.

As the publication writes, North Korean troops will increase the number of the Russian army in the Kursk region by 25%.

“According to estimates by the Ukrainian General Staff, Russia has sent 40,000 troops to defend Kursk. North Korean soldiers will increase the number of the Russian army by 25%, which will allow more experienced Russian troops to continue the offensive in other areas of the front,” the report says.

The media also writes that, according to its sources, half of the Russian fighters in Kursk are recruits. They have little experience compared to other military personnel. That is why they decided to reinforce them with North Korean troops.

“The Kremlin has reached an agreement with the North Korean regime to have the DPRK troops help liberate Kursk. In this way, the Russian Federation wants to avoid overthrowing part of the Russian troops that continue their invasion of the east of Ukrainian territory. The possible entry of North Korean troops into battle for the first time on Russia's side strengthens Moscow's position in the war against Ukraine,” El Pais reports.

In addition, the Defence Intelligence has reportedly published intercepted radio communications from the Russian army in Kursk, from which it became known that North Korean soldiers are being transported in civilian trucks to join the Russian 810th Marine Infantry Brigade fighting on the front line in Kursk.
