US and South Korean officers say greater than 10,000 North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia’s Kursk area to participate in pushing again Ukrainian forces.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met Russia’s defence minister final month and pledged to develop ties with Moscow in all areas, together with army affairs, underneath the excellent strategic partnership he signed with Russian President Vladimir Putin in June, which features a mutual defence settlement, North Korean state media stated.
Moscow and Pyongyang have dramatically superior ties since their leaders held a summit in September final 12 months in Russia, and the North has since shipped greater than 10,000 containers of ammunition, in addition to self-propelled howitzers and a number of rocket launchers, in keeping with South Korea’s spy company.
