North Korean forces engage in combat against Ukraine for the first time – The New York Times
The New York Times reported that North Korean troops have taken part in combat operations for the first time in russia’s war against Ukraine.
However, there is currently no official confirmation of this information.
Key points from the article:
▫️ North Korean troops have engaged in combat in russia’s war against Ukraine, marking their first direct clash with the Ukrainian armed forces.
▫️ The fighting was limited and likely intended to “probe” for weaknesses in Ukraine’s defense.
▫️ North Korean forces fought alongside Russia’s 810 Separate Naval Infantry Brigade.
▫️ A significant number of North Korean soldiers were killed in the clash.
This is further evidence that russia is actively involving DPRK troops in its war against Ukraine, despite the kremlin’s denials.
Earlier, Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation and an officer of the Ukrainian defense forces, told about the presence of North Korean soldiers within russian units, where they are being trained in modern warfare tactics.
