The aggressor state of russia has begun to use DPRK soldiers in assault operations in the Kursk region, in particular, as part of the combined units of the marines and airborne troops of the russian armed forces.

The North Korean troops suffer sanitary and irreversible losses as a result of a successful fire attack by the Ukrainian Security and Defense Forces.

In particular, at one of the positions in the Kursk region, the DPRK army was effectively targeted by FPV drones.

As of December 14, 2024, the estimated losses of units staffed by russian and North Korean personnel amounted to about 200 servicemen.

When using the DPRK troops on the battlefield, the language barrier remains problematic to control and coordinate actions.

Because of this problem, North Korean soldiers opened "friendly fire" on the vehicles of the so-called Ahmat battalion. As a result, they killed eight kadyrov soldiers.

About 11,000 DPRK army personnel are present in the territory of russia.

In the places where korean soldiers are stationed, the aggressor has introduced a special counterintelligence regime. The FSB checks russian soldiers and officers. Their phones and other devices are seized before they are allowed to enter the areas where North Korean units are located.
