Around 300 North Korean soldiers have been killed, and 2,700 wounded while fighting for Russia in Ukraine, according to South Korea's spy agency. The soldiers, part of North Korea's elite Storm Corps, were sent to aid Moscow's efforts in return for technical assistance for Pyongyang's weapons programs. The high casualties reflect their lack of modern warfare understanding. Some soldiers were ordered to commit suicide to avoid capture, with one attempting to detonate a grenade before being shot. Ukraine has captured two North Korean soldiers, offering a potential exchange for captured Ukrainian troops.
