North Korean soldiers join Russian forces while Moscow gets new weapons supply

South Korean intel shows that roughly 10‚900 North-Korean soldiers are now stationed in Kursk working with Russian air-borne and marine units. Some troops already take part in Ukraine combat operations according to Lee Seong-kweun (who got info from the National Intelligence Service)

The military aid keeps flowing: NK sent more weapons to Russia including self-propelled artillery and multi-rocket systems. The partnership between Moscow and Pyongyang grows stronger – last spring NK troops did special training for air and sea operations

A non-standard diplomatic meeting happened in Moscow this month when Putin met with NK foreign minister Choe Son Hui. Intelligence committee member Park Sun-won says this wasnt just a formal hello: they probably talked about Kim Jong Unʼs future visit to Russia. The spy agency still cant confirm how many NK soldiers got hurt or captured in Ukraine because theres different info coming in

The cooperation between both countries shows up in many ways – from boots on the ground to heavy weapons. South Korean intelligence keeps track of whats going on but some details remain unclear (like exact numbers of losses and surrenders)
