North Korean Troops Engage Ukrainian Forces in Kursk and Pokrovsk Amid Large-Scale Assaults, First Engagement in 70+ Years
Dec 14, 2024, 12:36 PM
Reports indicate that North Korean troops have engaged in combat operations against Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of Russia. Ukrainian military sources state that these troops launched large-scale assaults, employing tactics reminiscent of a mass infantry charge across open terrain, which has been described as advantageous for machine gunners. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate has warned that North Korean military units, recently placed on high alert, are expected to participate in assaults imminently. There are conflicting reports about the exact location of these engagements, with some asserting that the North Koreans have also attacked in Pokrovsk. Video evidence has emerged purportedly showing North Korean forces in action, marking their first significant military engagement in over 70 years. Ukrainian forces claim to have destroyed entire columns of North Korean troops during these confrontations.
