North Korean troops in Russia: Fleeing drones, seizing homes
International intelligence agency InformNapalm reports controversies surrounding North Korean soldiers in Russia, who are occupying Russian homes to hide from Ukrainian drones.
The international intelligence agency InformNapalm reveals that soldiers from North Korea, stationed in the Kursk region of Russia, are driving residents out of their homes. These actions aim to hide from Ukrainian drone attacks. According to the agency, elderly people have been left out in the cold.
Incidents occurred in the village of Machnowka, where North Korean soldiers broke into homes to shelter from drones. InformNapalm claims that the footage shows North Korean soldiers, not Russian ones from Buryatia. The Ukrainian military confirms that the Koreans have suffered significant losses and are hiding in residents' homes.
As reported by "Fakt," the North Korean forces present in the Kursk region are experiencing significant losses. According to a US report, these soldiers fear the Ukrainian armed forces, leading to desperate acts such as taking their own lives. "Human waves" used in battles with Ukraine result in a high level of casualties.
Serious losses for North Korea and Russia
According to Ukrainian intelligence, due to Ukrainian combat drone attacks, both North Korea and Russia are suffering serious losses. Approximately 200 soldiers have died in recent clashes. Coordination problems are arising from language barriers between allies.
The US Secretary of State informed that by the end of December, one thousand North Korean soldiers were killed or wounded in the Kursk region. Over 10,000 North Korean soldiers have been sent to Russia to support the Russian army in fights with Ukraine. American services claim that Kim Jong Un initiated sending his army to Russia.
North Korean soldiers are being trained by Russians in the use of modern drones and weapons. This process aims to enhance combat capabilities against Ukrainian forces. North Korea's wide support for Russia includes supplies of ammunition and missiles.
Despite support from Russia, the morale of North Korean soldiers in Russia remains low due to isolation and separation from family. The rate of losses and communication problems further affect operational effectiveness. Many soldiers have been deprived of personal devices to prevent information leaks.
