North Korea has sent more soldiers to Russia, according to South Korea’s spy agency. They shared with AFP that over 10,000 North Korean troops were sent to Russia last year to help fight against Ukraine in the Kursk area. Earlier this month, South Korea said that the North Korean soldiers who were on the front lines in Kursk hadn’t fought since mid-January. Ukraine reported that these soldiers were pulled back after suffering heavy losses.
On Thursday, a South Korean intelligence official said that some of these soldiers have been redeployed back to the front lines, along with extra soldiers. The exact number of these troops is still being figured out. Neither Russia nor North Korea confirmed this troop movement, but last year, the two countries made a deal that included a promise to defend each other.
