A missile strike on occupied territory near Donetsk on October 3 took out more than 20 attackers, including six officers from North Korea who had come for negotiations with their “colleagues” in Russia. In addition, three North Korean soldiers were wounded. The Ukrainian English-language publication Kyiv Post reports this with reference to its intelligence sources.

Last year, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported the arrival of a limited contingent of North Korean military personnel, in particular units of engineering troops, in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, indicating active cooperation with between Russia and North Korea.
The Center for National Resistance reported in September 2023 that Russia plans to bring North Korean citizens to the occupied territories of Donetsk and Lugansk for construction work.
The head of Russia’s ruling regime, Vladimir Putin, after meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-in in June of this year, convinced his “companion” to open “diplomatic missions in Donetsk and Lugansk.”
The Center for National Resistance came to the conclusion that the North Koreans were invited to provide labor supplies to these regions because the Kremlin’s war with Ukraine led to a labor shortage throughout Russia and the occupied territories.
As you know, in early July, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a train with bullets in occupied Donetsk.
In addition, in May, the Ukrainian military attacked a restaurant in Donetsk where the occupiers had gathered.
