North Korean troops suffer heavy losses near Kursk, SBU reports
The Security Service of Ukraine intercepted conversations of Russians indicating large losses of North Korean troops in the Kursk region. Within a few days, over 200 wounded soldiers from Kim Jong Un's country were expected to arrive at a hospital near Moscow.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) revealed intercepted conversations of Russians that point to significant losses of North Korean troops in the Kursk region. According to the Polish Press Agency, many wounded are being admitted to medical facilities in Moscow.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, which intercepted a phone conversation between a nurse in Moscow and her husband on the front lines, in recent days over 200 wounded soldiers from Pyongyang were admitted to the hospital wards. The woman claimed that more transport was arriving.

"Yesterday there was a train with about 100 people. Today another 120 - that's already 200. And how many more are there? Only God knows," complained the wife of a Russian soldier.
She also comments with bitterness that the soldiers from the DPRK are being given priority treatment. The wounded Russians are reportedly facing much worse treatment conditions. "Are these Koreans some kind of elite? We're clearing designated rooms for them," says the nurse.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported the presence of 11,000 North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region. Ukrainian military intelligence HUR warns that the participation of the DPRK army in the war on Russia's side poses a threat to Ukraine, South Korea, and Japan.
The SBU launched a criminal investigation into the involvement of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine. This involvement may have far-reaching consequences for world peace. Some North Korean soldiers may return to their country with new combat skills.
