North Korean troops, numbering 10,900, have been deployed to Kursk with Russian forces, some already fighting in Ukraine, a South Korean lawmaker said. The country has also supplied Russia with additional weapons, including howitzers and rocket launchers.
Approximately 10,900 North Korean troops have been deployed to Kursk as part of Russia’s airborne and marine units, with some already participating in battles in the Ukraine war, according to a South Korean lawmaker. The information was based on reports from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS).
In addition, North Korea has supplied more weapons for the conflict, including self-propelled howitzers and multiple rocket launchers, said Park Sun-won, a member of South Korea’s parliamentary intelligence committee, citing NIS insights.
Park also noted that North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui’s recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow was highly unusual in terms of protocol. The meeting likely involved discussions on significant matters, such as a potential visit to Russia by Kim Jong Un, beyond mere diplomatic exchanges.
The NIS is still investigating the number of North Korean troop casualties and whether any soldiers have surrendered, as conflicting reports have emerged, the lawmaker added.
