Ukraine's military intelligence reported that at least 30 North Korean soldiers were killed or wounded during recent fighting in Russia's Kursk region. The casualties occurred over the weekend, specifically on December 14 and 15, as Ukrainian forces engaged North Korean troops who had been deployed by Russia to support its military operations. The Ukrainian Defense Intelligence indicated that these North Korean soldiers were part of Russia's 94th Brigade, which has been reinforced with fresh troops amid ongoing conflicts. This incident marks a significant moment in the Ukraine conflict, as it is among the first reported casualties of North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces.
