The Wall Street Journal wrote about this with reference to South Korean intelligence data.
Although their combat experience is limited, they have already completed basic combat training in the “storm corps”, which gives them a certain level of combat effectiveness, intelligence officials say.
On October 29, the Pentagon confirmed the presence of a “small number” of North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region, Radio Liberty writes.
According to US Defense Department spokesman Patrick Ryder, there are indications that the Russians may use them as foot soldiers.
Ryder stressed that there are no restrictions on the use of American weapons against North Korean troops.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yol said on Tuesday that a South Korean delegation will visit Ukraine this week to share information about the dispatch of North Korean troops to the Russian Federation and discuss further cooperation.
