North Korea Deploys 12,000 Troops to Kursk, Suffers 4,000 Casualties as Human Mine Detectors
Jan 12, 2025, 12:00 AM
North Korean soldiers deployed to support Russia in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine are being used as 'human mine detectors' on the front lines in the Kursk region, according to Ukrainian military sources. These troops, numbering approximately 12,000, are reportedly advancing in single-file lines, spaced three to four meters apart, to detect and trigger landmines. If a soldier is killed by a mine, medics follow to collect the bodies, and the line continues. This tactic has been described as a 'meat grinder' strategy by a Ukrainian lieutenant colonel. The deployment has resulted in an estimated 4,000 casualties, as reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The use of such methods highlights the severe conditions and high human cost of the conflict.
