Western officials have revealed that North Korean troops have suffered heavy casualties in the fighting in Russia’s western Kursk region, with an estimated 1,000 soldiers killed in just three months.
These figures, if confirmed, represent a significant loss for North Korea.
The deployment of North Korean troops to support Russia’s war effort in Ukraine has come at a high cost.
These troops, reportedly from an “elite” unit called the Storm Corps, appear to have been thrown into battle with inadequate training and limited support.
The involvement of North Korean troops in the conflict underscores the increasing international dimensions of the war in Ukraine.
