North Korean Troops in Kursk Suffer 100 Killed, 1,000 Injured Due to Lack of Drone Experience
Dec 19, 2024, 03:26 AM
North Korean troops have suffered significant casualties while fighting alongside Russian forces in Russia's Kursk region, according to reports from South Korean intelligence and Ukrainian military sources. At least 100 North Korean soldiers have been killed and over 1,000 injured in recent combat operations. The high casualty rate is attributed to the North Korean soldiers' lack of experience with drone warfare and their deployment in unfamiliar open terrain. Ukrainian Special Operations Forces reported killing 50 North Korean soldiers and injuring 47 others over three days of fighting. Additionally, there have been reports of North Korean troops mistakenly killing 8 Russian soldiers due to language barriers, highlighting interoperability issues between the two forces. Approximately 11,000 North Korean troops have been deployed to the region.
