Defeat or Strategy? Ukraine Announces the Disappearance of North Korean Troops

For about three weeks now, there has been no recorded presence of North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region—likely due to significant losses, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reports NewsBox.

The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed reports that over the past three weeks, there has been no observed activity from North Korean army units in the Kursk region. This is reported by Ukrayinska Pravda with reference to Colonel Oleksandr Kindratenko.

The Special Operations Forces focus exclusively on areas where our units are engaged. Based on this, we can report that North Korean troop presence has not been noted for approximately three weeks. They likely suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw, Kindratenko stated.

This information supports the reports from foreign journalists about a possible reduction in North Korean presence in the area.
