At least 100 North Korean troops have been killed and 1,000 injured in combat against Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of Russia, according to South Korean politician Lee Seong-kweun. The heavy casualties were attributed to inexperience in drone warfare and unfamiliarity with open terrain. Lee stated that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is overseeing training, suggesting further troop deployments. Over 10,000 North Korean soldiers have been sent to support Russia's war effort, with Pyongyang supplying significant military aid. The losses reflect the intensity of North Korean involvement in the ongoing conflict.
