Details of First Clash with North Korean Soldiers in Kursk Region

North Korean soldiers engaged in combat with Ukrainian troops in Kursk region. This most likely occurred when attempting to "probe" the Ukrainian forces' line of defence in this region.

This was reported by The New York Times.

It is noted that this battle in the Kursk region was limited and not large-scale.

A high-ranking US official and a Ukrainian official confirmed the information about the clash between Ukrainian and North Korean troops to the American press on condition of anonymity.

A Ukrainian official added in a conversation with NYT that the clash was likely intended to test the Ukrainian line for weak points.

The Ukrainian official added that the DPRK soldiers fought together with the Russian 810th Separate Marine Infantry Brigade.

However, it is not specified when exactly this battle took place.

A US official told the American newspaper that a significant number of North Korean troops were killed in the clash.
