Ukraine has reported at least 30 North Korean soldiers killed or injured this weekend in Kursk, Russia. The casualties occurred near Plekhovo, Vorozhba, and Martynovka, according to Ukraine’s military intelligence. "Assault groups are being replenished with fresh personnel," the agency said, adding that soldiers from the 94th DPRK brigade have been deployed. This marks the first detailed account of North Korean troop losses in the war. Unverified reports claim a drone attack caused 200 casualties among Russian and North Korean forces. Ukraine estimates 11,000 North Koreans are assisting Russia, although Moscow has not confirmed their presence.
