Ukraine has captured two North Korean soldiers in Russia's Kursk region, marking the first live captures of such troops since their deployment last autumn. President Zelenskiy confirmed the soldiers were transferred to Kyiv and are being treated under international law. The men, aged 19 and 25, were interrogated with South Korean assistance due to language barriers. Captured during a special forces operation, one soldier had a jaw injury, while the other suffered a leg fracture. North Korean troops, allegedly aiding Russia since October, have reportedly bolstered artillery supplies. Moscow and Pyongyang remain silent on their involvement.
